University of Virginia Library

A Library Reimagined for the Future

At the University of Virginia, Alderman Library had served students and faculty for decades — but it was time for a change. Enter the transformation into Shannon Library: a bright, welcoming space designed for modern students and researchers.

With help from Patterson Pope, UVA introduced smarter storage solutions, better accessibility, and a welcoming design that supports today's students, faculty, and researchers. 

Check out the case study to see how UVA turned a historic library into a vibrant space for learning and discovery.
