Library

Welcome to the Library!

The mission of the Richard Welsh Library is to support the teaching and research needs of the faculty and students of the NewSchool of Architecture and Design. Accordingly, its collection of more than 13,500 books and other media focuses on architecture and the related fields of landscape architecture, city planning, and urban design. With the advent of the new programs in landscape architecture, construction management, and digital media arts, materials supporting these fields are being acquired. The library acquires new materials for the collection on an ongoing basis and encourages students and faculty to make suggestions.

The library is located on the first floor of the main building, 1249 F Street. It has five PC workstations for student use, a DVD/VCR monitor and playback machine, and a flatbed scanner. Two combination printer-copier-scanners are located just outside the library.
