Roberts Wesleyan College Golisano Library

Roberts Wesleyan College Golisano Library

Situated on a highly visible and prominent corner of the campus, the proposed Golisano Library will offer to Roberts Wesleyan College a symbol of higher learning and an image to build upon. The site, located between Minor Hall and the Quad Residence Halls, is highly visible from both the campus green to the South, and the Administrative "Front Door" of Rinker Hall to the East. The added verticality of a tower element to the library enhances the image of the entire campus as an institute for higher learning and religious education.



Sustainable design techniques and materials will be considered throughout the entire design process and ultimately contribute toward our goal of a LEED Silver Certification.



The B. Thomas Golisano Library, dedicated in the fall of 2007, has been awarded Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. The $13M building is the first Silver-certified building on any college campus in Upstate New York and the first library in the state to achieve the Silver certification.
