Welcome to the Quantum Library, one of the quieter spaces inside the Robert Day Sciences Center. Enclosed by glass walls that fill the space with natural light, the library offers a calm setting where students can step away from the buzz of classrooms and labs to read, reflect, or simply slow down.

At the center, you'll see a handcrafted wooden table by the workshop of master woodworker Sam Maloof. This piece, named through the support of Harry '75 and Jacqueline McMahon P'08, P'09, is both a work of art and a reminder that science and creativity go hand in hand.

Within the library, you'll also find the Focus Booths - comfortable, semi-private spaces designed for individual study or small group conversations. Each booth carries a plaque recognizing the donors who helped make them possible, adding another layer of meaning to this thoughtful space.

The Quantum Library is a place for inspiration and focus - a light-filled balance to the lively, collaborative areas throughout the building.

Please make your way back to the main lobby to hear about the Atrium and other building highlights.
