New Library Renovations

Expanding Access to

Cultivate Collaborative Thinkers

Our library is the academic heart of the Wheaton campus. For our community of Christian learners, the library provides resources and physical spaces that support learning and discovery, in addition to housing the world-renowned collections of many heroes of the faith.

More than 1,400 students use the library each day during the academic school year, yet our current facility can only accommodate 19% of our student body at one time. By creating a more modern, functional, and beautiful space, Wheaton will continue to steward our commitment to providing whole-person preparation for kingdom impact.

THE GOAL: To build a new multi-purpose Learning Commons and renovate areas of the existing library in a manner that is consistent with Wheaton's legacy of world-class academics.
