Gumberg Library

The Gumberg Library is a hub for academic exploration, distinctive intellectual resources, information literacy instruction, and expert library services for the Duquesne University community.

 

The five-story structure boasts individual and cooperative study areas, private and group study rooms, a FlexTech classroom with seven collaborative work spaces, a rare book reading and seminar room, assistive technology equipment and tables, and color and 3-D printing.
