After nine decades in Seaton Hall, the Paul Weigel Library of Architecture, Planning and Design opened in a 6,500-square-foot space on the ground floor of Regnier Hall in 2017. The modern steel and glass building is a visual connection that highlights the specialized library’s integration into the college and the rest of campus.
In addition to the large collection of print architecture and design books, reserves, reference, periodicals, media and electronic sources are also available.
Ask about the William A. Stoskopf Special Collections room which houses approximately 1,175 rare and fragile books, prints, maps and other items. Staff at the Patricia Weisenburger Circulation Desk will assist with library information, research and technology needs.
Weigel Library features classic furniture designs that are both comfortable and have the potential to inspire creativity. The adjoining Pierce Information Commons, which remains open after library hours, is a spacious reading and meeting area that faces the beautiful William T. Kemper Foundation Amphitheatre.
