    1. Sawyer Library

      Dedicated in 2014, Sawyer Library is a nexus for collaborative learning, social interaction, and intellectual engagement. Home to the humanities and social sciences collections, the library juxtaposes the oldest and rarest of books with state-of-the-art technology and digital collections. This new research and academic facility includes historic Stetson, the College Archives, the Chapin Library of Rare Books, and the Center for Educational Technology.

       

      Surrounded by soaring mountain views, the library features flexible, interactive work environments, individual and group study spaces, 24-hour access to the historic reading room, multimedia-equipped classrooms, a videoconference room, a recording studio, exhibition spaces, faculty offices, and a venue for events. Its vast collections include about a million books in print, more than 300,000 e-books, and hundreds of electronic journals and databases.
