IRVING S. GILMORE MUSIC LIBRARY

Susan Hoadley was the primary designer on the project.  The project is an infill of an existing courtyard inside of the Sterling Library,  the project used arches that drew upon the proportion and tapering of existing neogothic elements inside of the building.  The space is intentionally vertical in its effect, which offers borrowed natural light through clerestories in the rood, while minimizing the appearance of the roof from Yale's iconic College Walk.
