The Assistive Technology (AT) Lab is a partnership between the Library, Computing & Communications, and Access Services office in Student Affairs.

Phase I of campus construction was to provide facilities to serve 3,000 - 3,300 students by 1973-74 or 1974-75. Some additions would allow the College shortly thereafter to serve 5,000 - 5,500 students. Then, after a new round of construction and several more years, Evergreen would serve some 9,000 students. By the mid-1980's, a student population of some 12,000 was projected. The Library building was to be large enough to serve that population. The first administrators, facilities planners, and consultants were well aware that, as the Baby Boomers were swelling enrolments, most colleges were either planning to enlarge their libraries or to build new libraries. The first planners, led by Charles McCann – who believed that the Library should be the heart of the campus – determined to build a structure large enough to serve 12,000 students. The Daniel J. Evans Library is thus the one structure on campus which indicates the scope of the original assumptions about the size of the College.
