Student Lounge & Library

The Art & Art History Department offers its majors and minors access to its student lounge, located on the same floor as faculty offices and departmental resources. In addition to comfortable and well-lit seating, the space also offers a significant collection of books on art and art history. These books cover topics of interest in historical and contemporary art practice as well as some relevant to current courses. Majors and minors must visit the departmental administrative assistant to have their key card programmed for access.
