Architecture Studies Library Building

The Architecture Studies Library (ASL) is located in the Sogg Architecture Building, which was completed and occupied in August 1997. The Architecture Studies Library (approximately 16,000 gross square feet) includes spaces for book and periodical stacks, individual carrels on both of its floors, current periodicals display shelving, exhibits, a reference area, clippings files, special collections, group study rooms, and a computer lab.

The architect for the building was Swisher & Hall. The interiors furniture selection and placement was a project of one of the School's interior design classes.

The original plans (building plans, as well as mechanical, landscape and electrical plans) for the School of Architecture building and the Library are available in the ASL Special Collections. For additional information regarding the plans refer to UNLV Buildings & Campus Information. Check at the ASL Service Desk for assistance in viewing these materials.
