With its towering marble facades, light wood furniture, ceiling of skylights, and mountain views glowing like a cathedral’s window, Davis is an impressive but unintimidating space. Its size, with each of its three floors about an acre, is softened by quiet corners, natural light, and warm art throughout.
It’s a common crossroads on campus with as much going on at its shared tables, group study rooms, and soft reading chairs as at its frequently packed bike racks, front patio, and Wilson Café, where you can grab a coffee, meet with a professor, or burrow into a booth in the well-lit space.
The building also houses the College’s Special Collections (including Robert Frost’s writing chair); Library Information Services; Center for Teaching, Learning, and Research; 298 individual study carrels; a circulation desk; and the massive stacks, which efficiently store the more than 900,000 books, with many shelves still empty and waiting for additions to the College’s growing collection.
