This dynamic icon located at the heart of an urban campus is a crossroads combining next-generation library with one-stop student services, organization lounges, food services, and performance theatre. The opportunities for student interaction and engagement in various flexible configurations are the constant theme. The facility provides support for contemporary collaborative learning in both academic and campus life settings.
In 1968, NU students occupied the Bursar’s office to protest the campus experience for black students. Many of their demands were met by the administration—including a place to call their own. Thus, the house at 1914 Sheridan Road was officially designated by the University as the location for the Department of Afro-American Student Affairs, and also became a gathering place for black students. Effectively, it was more than just a house; it was a symbol of solidarity and “the fight for equity and justice on campus.”
Designed as a beacon to attract and retain students, the new Library and Learning Center at TSU is a collaborative hub of social activity.
