The Paul & Rosemary Trible Library at Christopher Newport University in Newport News, VA, has served as a focal point of the school’s campus since 1966. Successive additions and renovations have kept the building relevant and useful for students, the most recent of which was, up to the point of this project, in 2008. 

 

2016 saw the completion of the 63,000 square foot Phase II renovation, which increased the Library’s seating capacity from 200 to 1,000, and included an expanded media center, a café, a lecture hall, and a new two-story reading room, among other improvements. The content of this project will focus mainly on this renovation, which has helped the Library transition into a modern, student-oriented hub.
