A Collaborative Space
Opened in 1970 and renovated in 2012 and 2014, the Katharine Brush Library serves many different community needs.
Meeting friends to relax between classes or study for a test?
The first floor’s tables, chairs, and soft seating offer the right environment for conversation and collaboration. Also on the first floor are several computers and printers for student use.
Need a more dedicated space to work on a project with friends?
Reserve one of the library’s six study rooms — each furnished with a conference table, chairs, and white board.
Do you prefer to have a quiet place to read or study?
Head to the second floor for a more peaceful experience and beautiful views of the Meadows to the east and Rockefeller Quad to the west.
