Rhodes College Paul Barret, Jr. Library

AcademicLibrary
Memphis, Tennessee

Client: Rhodes College
Architect: Hanbury Evans Wright Vlattas + Company / Shepley, Bulfinch, Richardson & Abbott
Completion: 1994

The 136,000-sq.ft. Paul Barret, Jr. Library reflects the collegiate Gothic character of the rest of the campus. The gothic arches with limestone and natural stone add aesthetic value to the library. The apse, a primary focal point, features a dome on the outside and a balcony within, giving the building a European cathedral look.
