The five-story, 135,000 square-foot facility is situated on the quad just east of Green Hall, directly between West Hall and Eickhoff Hall. In addition to housing traditional library collections and services in an atmosphere that is elegant yet friendly and inviting throughout, the building provides 26 group study rooms, a café, a late-night study area, and a 105-seat multi-purpose auditorium. A self-guided audio tour of the library is available.
