Noise & Courtesy

Due to the modest size and intimate nature of the Architecture Research Center (ARC) facility, cell phone use is not permitted anywhere in the library.

Supporting the Architecture Research Center (ARC)

The Architecture Research Center (ARC) welcomes contributions no matter what the amount. A donation of any size is a valuable contribution that helps support the operation and functioning of the library to support student and faculty research.

Donation of Physical materials:

While we greatly appreciate physical donations to add to the collection with limited space, we do not accept drop offs of materials. We kindly ask that you first send an email to um.arc@miami.edu with details of the materials you wish to donate. Due to space constraints, the University’s architecture collections are housed between two locations, the Otto G. Richter Library and the School of Architecture library. The School’s modestly sized library facility allows students and faculty use of a limited collection in the classroom and studio. Visit the School of Architecture site for more information on giving your support.
