Library
In 2013, fifty-five years after its original construction, the Clark Library was transformed with a sweeping renovation. Today the Library embodies the University’s vision of an intellectual commons for the campus, providing students with current technologies, multi-format resources and collaborative, flexible learning spaces. Dedicated Library faculty and staff work closely with students and professors to make optimal use of the Library’s innovative spaces, services and resources.
