Beschreibung:
UVA's main library building, Shannon Library (formerly "Alderman Library"), underwent a major renovation from 2020-2024, and reopened on January 8, 2024. The beautifully renovated building brings the library up to current standards of safety, accessibility, and service. A new entrance makes the building easily reachable from the growing northern corridor along University Avenue, and a larger south entrance makes the space easier to access from Grounds. The building offers better layout and natural light, including in two new study courts, for members of the University community as they study, research, and socialize. Improved wayfinding (using signage and other design elements) makes the building more intuitive for visitors, and better facilities support the ongoing conservation and preservation of the Library’s large and growing print collection.

Much-loved features such as the McGregor (“Harry Potter”) Room remain — they’ve been renovated and optimized for comfort and character, preserving the essential elements of their unique identity. The building contains more than 1,400 seats for research and study.

If you are a resident of Virginia, Alderman ( and the UVA library system ) gives you a library card. Truly, this is Mr. Jefferson's university.
