Henry Buhl Library Rejuvenation

Grove City College’s 1950s-era library occupies the center of campus, both with its prominent location on a residential quad, and serving as the primary building for student study. The College understood that the way students work, study, and collaborate has changed significantly in the almost 70 years since the library was built and that updating the building’s technology and spatial functionality was important for student recruitment and retention. The renovation makes use of the building to its full potential and provides a variety of spaces for the modern student.
