Student studying inside of Magill Library

Then & Now

Magill Library

Magill Library will be totally transformed by a renovation and revitalization that is scheduled to begin in January 2018. The building will be renamed Lutnick Library (for Howard Lutnick '83, who gave a $25 million gift to help fund the project), and its new incarnation will include enhanced technology, open and flexible spaces, renovated book stacks, increased accessibility for special collections, and a café. Heritage spaces, including the Magill Wing and its historic façade on Founders Green, will be preserved.
