The New Library at the University of Virginia's College at Wise is to serve as the central link between the existing upper and lower campuses, which are currently divided by a steep 60 foot hill. With the addition of the new library, students will be able to travel across campus more easily and safely due to the incorporation of a 24 hour access zone.
Along with numerous books and reference material the library will offer several other amenities to students including study rooms, conference rooms, smart workstations, and a café. The 6 story library will be 68,000 sq. ft. and will cost approximately $43 million. Construction began in August 2012 and is scheduled to be completed in August 2015.
