Transform Lavery Library
Your support can create an inviting, high-tech learning commons designed to prepare students for the most advanced workplaces.
Through your generosity and partnership, St. John Fisher University will redesign and enhance the Charles J. Lavery Library to create a bold new environment for exploration and learning both now and in the future.
Improvements to Lavery Library will create a modern learning environment that embodies the energy, color, and life of our vibrant educational experience. As the heart of the campus, the library impacts every discipline and Fisher student. Redesigning the library creates a centralized hub for student success that meets the needs of current and future Cardinals.
The renovation allows for a creative reimagining of an iconic campus building as a welcoming hub with a new purpose—one of coordinated student success.
This transformation allows the physical space to catch up with the supportive culture already established in and around our library while enhancing our student-centered culture. The new library will foster student success by nurturing a sense of intellectual discovery, academic achievement, and a passion for lifelong learning.
Highlights of the renovated library include:
- a signature public lobby and lounge space filled with light and natural elements,
- centralized student services with flexible workspace for collaborative staff,
- increased student study seating—both quiet and collaborative, and
- tech-rich, flexible classroom spaces.
By investing in Lavery Library, you are investing in the future success of our graduates, our institution, and our community.
