The ACRL/Core Interdivisional Committee on Building Resources was developed from the work of the ACRL/Core Designing Higher Ed Library and Learning Spaces Guide Task Force, and officially established as a standing committee by the ACRL Board through virtual action in February 2008. On November 16, 2018, the Board approved a new name and charge, as well as the transition of the group, from a committee to an editorial board.
