Architectural Drawings Collection

The Art & Architecture Library houses a collection of over 500 architectural drawings and maps. Items range from local, regional, and campus buildings to national airports, libraries, museums, and residences. Physical drawings do not circulate and must be used in the library between 9am - 5pm Monday through Friday. Exceptions may be made for faculty use, but drawings must still be checked out at the front desk.

Accessing the Collection

Drawings are available to view by appointment in the Art & Architecture Library. This allows us to reserve space for you to use the collection and ensure your requests are available.

Accessing Digitized Drawings

We are currently collaborating with the Digital Imaging Lab in Newman Library to create high quality scans of the collection. To request access to digitized copies or to request an item be scanned, please email artarchlibrary-g@vt.edu or stop by the library. Files are shared through Google Drive.

Some drawings are also available on JSTOR by searching for the "Virginia Tech Architectural Drawings Collection" under "Images."
