Designing Libraries XII – River Campus Libraries, University of Rochester

Join us in Rochester, NY, September 28-30, 2025, for Designing Libraries XII, where librarians, architects, planners, designers, information technologists, and others come together to explore the achievements and challenges of designing libraries and learning spaces for the 21st century. Over the last decade, the University of Rochester’s River Campus Libraries has used a strategic space plan to guide the development of active, experiential and technology-rich learning and research spaces for student and faculty success in Rush Rhees and the Carlson Science and Engineering Libraries.
