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: Materials on the fifth floor of the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center are being temporarily moved to our off-site storage facility. For your safety, please avoid browsing the fifth-floor stacks. See our Service Alerts to learn more.
