• Reserve items may be used outside of the library (except for the CWE Library).
• Reserve items MUST be returned to the Library circulation desk from where they were borrowed.
• Fines will be charged for reserve items returned to a different library or put into a drop box — always return materials to a person behind the desk!

• Calculators are available for 1 day (24 hours).

Computer Lab (101C)

The Architecture Library has 13 available computers equipped with the latest architectural software for person use. These computers are designated only for students and faculty currently in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture programs and the Sustainability Master’s program.
