Collection Overview +/-
Collection Inventory +/-Biographical Note/Historical Note +/-Giovale Library was completed in 1997. Funded primarily by John and Ginger Giovale (former Chair of the Board of Trustees), it was dedicated September 12, 1997, and provides 47,000 square feet on 3 levels to house computer labs, a writing center, information commons and a small coffee area, in addition to the Watson Board Room, conference rooms, and reception and exhibit space in the Tower Reading Room as well as the Information Technology and Faculty Technology Center offices. As part of the opening ceremonies, books were handed down a line of students, staff and faculty from the old Nightingale Library to Giovale. The Nightingale Building, or just "Night" as it's more popularly known, is the former home of the campus library. Dedicated as Nightingale Memorial Library on December 7, 1964, during President W. Fred Arbogast's term (1963 to 1968), it was named to honor William T. Nightingale, late trustee, for his service to Westminster College and its community. Since the construction of the Giovale Library, Nightingale has been renovated twice. The building was rededicated for the 2012/2013 school year as "The Bassis Center for Student Learning", named after Dr. Michael Bassis, the college's 16th president, in honor of his intense focus on student learning. The new facility includes the college's first-ever indoor student commons, a full-service coffee shop, an architectural skylight, fireplace and solar light gathering tubes that bring in natural light. The center is also home to the Center for Civic Engagement, Environmental Center, Westminster Scholars Program, photography labs and a new state-of-the-art eportfolio lab.
