Architecture Library Information
The Architecture Library, located in the Walsh Family Hall of Architecture, is on the south side of campus, adjacent to the Debartolo Performing Arts Center. The Library opened its doors on January 14, 2019.
The library comprises over 36,000 volumes and hundreds of periodicals on the built, planned, and grown environment. Collection strengths include classical and traditional architecture, American architecture, Italian architecture, Latin American architecture, New Urbanism, sustainable design and planning, historic preservation, and urban planning, as well as an extensive rare book collection. In addition to print collections, the Architecture Library builds and maintains several digital projects and collections, and is the repository for the archives of classical architect and theorist Léon Krier and the first New Urban community, Seaside.
The library is also home to a 3D Makerspace for all 3D design and printing needs, and includes four oversized 3D printers as well as technological assistance for designing and creating printable 3D models. Additional digital tools are available for use in studying and presenting the built and planned world virtually. These include Oculus Rifts, 3D scanners, cameras, and tools for aerial photography and mapping.
