Marlboro College Library
Location: Marlboro, Vermont
Architect: Daniel V. Scully Architects, Keene, NH
Contract Amount: $2,615,934
Construction for the Jerome & Elizabeth Aron Library Wing of the Rice Library was completed in the fall of 2003. This 2.6 million dollar project included two classrooms, a new medical laboratory, a new computer laboratory, and study and lounge space. Shelving and stacks were added to accommodate the now 75,000 volume library.
The original Rice Library building received extensive renovations and upgrades as well. The elevator that was added in the Aaron Library Wing project provided full ADA access to the second floor of Rice. The two wings were connected by an aluminum-clad link, the exterior of which nicely tied together the two distinct architectural styles of Rice and Aaron.
A college’s library is the very heart of the institution. Marlboro College’s Rice-Aaron Library will provide the faculty and students with a versatile, comfortable facility that will meet the ever evolving needs of the college well into the 21st century.
