History
In 2019, the Architecture, Design, and Art Library expanded its collection by introducing new art & design supplies available for check-out. The goal was to assist students who would not be able to complete their coursework because they lack access or funding for these supplies. In 2021, the library expanded its supply collection with consumable & non-consumable items.
