Floor Plans: Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center

Located on Blanche P. Levy Park across from College Hall, the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center serves all University of Pennsylvania students, faculty, and staff. It houses five of Penn's library locations: the Albrecht Music Library, Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts, Lippincott Library of the Wharton School, Zilberman Family Center for Global Collections, and the Weigle Information Commons. It is also home to the Penn Libraries' main administrative offices, as well as major study, event, and exhibit spaces.

The main entrance to Van Pelt requires walking up eight stairs. The building's accessible entrance opens into the Goldstein Undergraduate Study Center on the ground floor. A wheelchair-accessible doorbell is located on the railing leading toward the door.

Note: The majority of the fifth floor of the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center is currently closed for construction. Learn more about this renovation to the Zilberman Family Center for Global Collections, including how to request materials.
