Landman Library
Arcadia University's multi-million dollar Landman Library furthers the University's global mission by offering students and faculty state-of-the-art technology for collaborative education and access to learning partners both on campus and around the globe. The University's $10.9 million Cornerstone of Our Future Campaign underwrote the renovation and expansion project, completed in 2003.
Landman Library is located on the north end of campus, near Heinz, Knight, Taylor and Boyer Halls, and the Dining Complex. The area outside the main entrance is a popular gathering spot.
The facility features a grand reading room with comfortable seating and large windows overlooking the campus, technology-enhanced study and learning areas for group collaboration, a multimedia area, quiet carrels for private study and the University Archives.
