Yale University Bass Library
Bass Library is an underground library that connects to Sterling Memorial Library, one of Yale’s most prominent historic buildings. To address a need for more study space, DBVW worked closely with library and facility staff to renovate both floors of Bass Library. Renovations included removal of some of the existing book stacks to create individual and group study areas, as well as creating two new, glass-enclosed offices. New furnishings, carpeting, lighting and millwork update Bass Library to create a space that better suits the needs of today’s students.
