Leavey Library

Leavey Library is an academic facility at USC with multiple floors containing individual study desks, group work rooms, and specialized spaces for media production and presentations. The layout supports different learning styles, from focused study to collaborative project work.

The University of Southern California opened Leavey Library in 1994 as a modern research center to support academic inquiry. The facility was designed to meet the growing needs of students for advanced learning resources.

The Weingart Reading Room displays the Wall of Scholars, which recognizes University of Southern California students who have received academic awards. This wall creates a visible space of achievement within the library community.

The Information Commons offers 13 small group study rooms for 4 to 6 people and 2 larger rooms for up to 14 students, reservable up to 7 days in advance. An outdoor terrace with wireless internet provides an alternative workspace when you need fresh air.

The facility houses an extensive collection of over 7000 DVDs and films to support teaching and research. This collection is unusually large for an academic library and often goes unnoticed by students.
