The basement was still there. In fourteen working days they completed construction of a new engineering hall on top of the ruins. Known to engineers as the Engineering Shed (or just &#8220;The Shed&#8221;), the more architecturally sensitive called the structure &#8220;The Sheep Shed.&#8221; It is not known if the engineering library ever occupied any part of the original Shed. However, when it became known that the Medicals had no further need of &#8220;their&#8221; basement, the Engineers arranged to have a shed built over that too.<\/p>\n<p>The floor plan of the &#8220;engineering halls&#8221; still exists. The engineering library is shown on the plan for the &#8220;medical&#8221; shed and can be seen at the arrow in the photograph.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lib.uiowa.edu\/eng\/files\/sh1.jpg\" alt=\"Engineering Library - Shed\" width=\"500\" height=\"329\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lib.uiowa.edu\/eng\/files\/sh2.jpg\" alt=\"Engineering Library - Shed\" width=\"800\" height=\"551\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lib.uiowa.edu\/eng\/files\/sh3.jpg\" alt=\"Engineering Library - Shed\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lib.uiowa.edu\/eng\/files\/sh4.jpg\" alt=\"Engineering Library - Shed\" width=\"650\" height=\"339\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lib.uiowa.edu\/eng\/files\/sh5a.jpg\" alt=\"Engineering Library - Shed\" width=\"550\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/eng\/history\"><strong><span style=\"color: red\">Return<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lichtenberger Engineering Library at The University of Iowa Libraries<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":952,"menu_order":5,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"pagetpl-engineering.php","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lib.uiowa.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/138"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lib.uiowa.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lib.uiowa.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lib.uiowa.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lib.uiowa.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/www.lib.uiowa.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/138\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1654,"href":"https:\/\/www.lib.uiowa.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/138\/revisions\/1654"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lib.uiowa.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lib.uiowa.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lib.uiowa.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lib.uiowa.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
