Renovating the Library

This homepage ran on Thursday, March 1, 2018. Content and links may have changed.

The successfully completed Lives That Speak campaign identified the Library as a rich opportunity to create a much-needed interactive, inviting, architecturally beautiful structure that advances and facilitates the innovative programming now offered. New features of what will be called the Lutnick Library include technologically robust spaces, active teaching and learning spaces, a Digital Scholarship Commons, and a cafe.

Renovation began in mid-February, but the library will retain many of Magill's beloved historic spaces including the Philips Wing and its loft, the current reference and reading room, the Rufus Jones Room, the Carvill Arch and more. This rendering shows the new northwest entrance across from Chase Hall.

Community Housing

For students looking to forge close connections around shared interests, Haverford offers specialinterest housing choices, such as La Casa Hispánica (for students actively engaged in organizing programs concerned with the cultures and civilizations of the Spanish-speaking world); Cadbury House (for those seeking quiet-study and alcohol- and drug-free living); and Nerd House (for gaming, tech, fantasy, anime, and science aficionados).
