The Library and Learning Connection rises above its neighboring buildings to create a striking beacon in the heart of campus. By interlocking learning and social spaces, the building strives to express the values of its diverse student body thru; 

  • Inclusion: The first floor is open and welcoming with gathering spaces, library collections, seating, and technology, as well as a social stair and day-lit atrium. 
  • Diversity: The second floor houses the Learning Connection and Communities, supporting the entire student body. 
  • Equity: The third floor reading room is a democratic learning space, with a terrace offering views of the campus and landscape
