A Once-In-A-Century Project: The Library/Art Building

We’re building the Library of the future.  

The Library/Art Building (LAB) is a once-in-a-century project that will restore the historic public-facing wing of the 1919 Library exhibition halls—designed by architect Myron Hunt—and modernize back-of-house spaces for today. The Huntington remains open and active, with 130 acres of botanical gardens, art galleries, exhibitions and programs, and rare library materials on view across the campus. 

While the Library exhibition halls are closed during construction, reading rooms and research services for readers and Research Fellows will remain unchanged throughout the project.  

We appreciate your understanding as we complete this important work and look forward to welcoming you across the campus during construction.
