The history of the Barbara & Leonard Littman Library.
The Barbara & Leonard Littman Library grew out of the Architecture Information Center (AIC) established when the School of Architecture was founded in 1973. Since 1998, it assumed a new position of increased prominence and visibility on the 4th floor of the Weston Hall.
Following this relocation the Library has expanded several times to its current 7,377 square feet and 120 user seats. With the addition of the School of Art and Design in 2008 the Littman Library supports all programs at the Robert and Barbara Hillier College of Architecture and Design.
The Library continues to grow and change striving to provide the best traditional and innovative services to all patrons.
