Van Wormer Library, part of the University of Cincinnati campus, is a classical architecture-style library building designed by Samuel Hannaford in 1899, and opened on May 1, 1901. Funding was provided by Asa Van Wormer with $50,000 worth of street railroad capital stock in memory of his late wife, who died October 4, 1878.
Renovation
[edit | edit source]In 2006, a $10.7 million renovation was undertaken, creating a new dome and improving lighting. Prior to the renovation the dome provided natural light on the top floor only, but now all floors benefit from it.[1][2] Van Wormer is no longer a library; university administrative offices are now housed in the building.[3]
