About Us
The Architecture Library is located on the upper floor of the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation. We are open to everyone, but our collections focus on the subject areas of architecture, historic preservation, real estate development, and urban and community planning. If you are enrolled in one of the majors housed at the School, you can access the library 24/7 by swiping your ID card in the card reader. This is a privilege extended to majors in the school only. Otherwise, you may access the library 11 AM to 4 PM Mondays through Thursdays or by appointment. Please check the daily hours for accurate open and closing times.
