The new library at Hampden-Sydney College is a signature building for the
College, exemplifying their mission to "form good men and good citizens in an
atmosphere of sound learning." The new four-story library building features a
monumental staircase and a rotunda on the fourth floor. Dressed in Flemish bond
brick veneer with a slate roof, the library offers details such as cast stone
columns and balustrades at the main entry, plaza and reading porch and
extensive millwork with exterior cornices and interior crown molding. The
83,403 square foot structure is equipped for wireless communications and
includes a coffee bar for students to enjoy.
Beginning in 2001, W. M. Jordan Company provided preconstruction services
including cost estimating, value engineering, and constructability analysis
while the College raised funds for the new building, which is now complete.
