Art@HSL procedures and policies

Purpose

The Health Sciences Libraries provides opportunities for informational, cultural and intellectual growth through the exhibit of displays, artifacts, works of art and other materials. Exhibits and art displays on loan in the library will create an inviting environment for users, stimulate academic discourse, and integrate the library more fully into campus life.

Exhibit space

Three exhibit wall spaces are available (Width 16’, 14’, 6’ X Height 8’) with overhead directional lighting. The Walker Display Artwork Hanging System is available to display art. Other spaces may be available for sculptures or other non-hanging art.
