Paul Barret, Jr. Library
Standing tall at the center of campus is the Paul Barret, Jr. Library. Opened in 2005, the library features group study rooms, areas for peer tutoring and writing assistance, computer laboratories, the Digital Media Lab, and the Media Center. The Middle Ground is a 24-hour study space situated within the Barret Library, offering a space for social gathering, studying, group collaboration, and much more.
"The Middle Ground is one of my favorite places to study. There are plenty of snacks and coffee to fuel late-night study sessions, and there are often bake sales going on held by various student organizations!" says Demi Shamsi-Basha '22.
One of the most beautiful rooms on campus, the Star Room, sits on the second floor of the building and is the crown jewel of the library. As Ryan Crump '22 describes, "This is one of my favorite rooms on campus. The leather chairs next to the huge stained glass windows are a great spot to study and write papers, but the star-painted ceiling is what really brings it all together."
