Giving to Bucknell

Library Expansion

Param Bedi
Chief Information Officer

"Bucknell's academic core depends on the strength of its research and technology facilities, so the resources of Bertrand Library define the Bucknell experience. The library is far more than a place to study. For students and faculty — and, increasingly, alumni — it is the center of intellectual life at Bucknell."


A "healthy heart" for campus

Standing at the top of our historic Academic Quad, the Bertrand Library is a signature Bucknell building that epitomizes the learning that is the heart of our University. To ensure that the library becomes an equally meaningful feature of the new adjacent quad, we will open the back of the library to it through a gorgeous new south-facing atrium and add new resources for teaching and scholarship.
