The Kappe Library offers resources and assistance for exploring architecture and related disciplines.
The library’s 7000-square-foot facility at the north end of SCI-Arc’s Depot building provides self-serve open stacks with print books and magazines, public workstations, individual and group work areas, and circulation for audio-visual equipment and physical media, and SCI-Arc Media Services.
All architectural researchers are welcome, but only current students and faculty may borrow materials.
The library’s website – library.sciarc.edu – provides a catalog for print and e-books, links to online text, image and video resources, and research guides on architectural issues, history, and building types. The library’s EzProxy enables off-campus access to proprietary databases.
