Library & Learning Commons: Curry Hall

Repurposing Curry Hall

The Charles F. Curry building, home of library services at William Jewell since 1965, will continue to play a central role in the research and learning process on campus. Plans call for the renovated structure to support the new dual-facility Library and Learning Commons, housing a majority of the Charles F. Curry book collection. The building will also accommodate critical student service functions such as the business, financial aid, registrar, career services and counseling offices. The Office of the President, the Office of the Academic Dean and the Office of Admission will ultimately move to this renovated space.

William Jewell is designing a modern center for collaboration and engagement in response to the demands of global citizenship in the 21st century and the needs of the 21st century learner.

The College’s new Library and Learning Commons will transform the physical campus, host new programs, provide a technology-rich learning environment and support experiential education across the curriculum.
