Trautman Associates helped Villa Maria College transform their 22,000 SF college library into a strategic resource dedicated to supporting students across every facet of their academic and personal lives.
Our comprehensive redesign consolidated critical student support services—including tutoring, advising, mental health counseling, and career services—into a single, high-efficiency campus hub. The design concept prioritizes both social interaction and academic success, featuring a versatile layout that accommodates collaborative group work and quiet, focused study. The updated floor plan introduces a state-of-the-art information literacy classroom and an intuitive circulation pattern that improves access to both print and multimedia collections. By seamlessly integrating digital infrastructure and open workspaces for staff, the new Center functions as a vibrant destination that encourages meaningful engagement between librarians, counselors, and the Villa Maria College student body.
