Education Hall, Old Westbury - Winter 2022


New Collaborations

  • This Fall, we brought the 'Zine Social to the general membership meetings for the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAs) and the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMAs). Attendees discovered the 'Zine
    medium and were able to collage their own. Visit the Library Guide for more information. 
     
  • We collaborated with the Writing Center so students could review essays and paper structure.
    Tutor Kevin Horton came to the library with a Pop-up Writing Center throughout November and December. 
    Follow the writing center for more events this spring. 

By the Numbers

Over the Fall 2022 Semester, the Art & Architecture Library continued supporting the
School of Architecture and Design academic programs and faculty research through
collection development, and research consultations (both in the library and over Zoom).

  • 250 students across 16 classes reconnected with library services and collections with library instruction. 
  • Students booked over 12 Virtual Reality Workstation sessions.
