The University Library recently completed a $58.5 million expansion and renovation. The University Library now features a two-story Grand Reading Room with a view of the majestic San Gabriel mountains, a Learning Commons that encourages “search and discovery” through its 36-workstation center offering state-of-the-art technology, a high-tech 53-workstation Productivity Center, and 43 Group Study Rooms to support collaborative learning. As the campus’ principal learning center, the University Library also features a 24-hour Lab with 78 computer stations and round table sitting areas, a Special Events Room for seminars, symposia, and receptions, six classrooms including a 120 seat tiered lecture hall, two information literacy laboratories and a Starbucks Café.
As the “intellectual and cultural heart of the campus”, the University Library welcomes students, faculty, staff, researchers, alumni, and community members through a dramatic two-story Entrance Lobby which faces the cultural corridor of the campus. The remodeled University Library recently received a 2009 Distinguished Project Award for excellence in engineering, design and innovative construction from the Western Council of Construction Consumers.
