Stop by the Art, Architecture & Engineering Library to see and touch materials for creative inspiration. Our in-house collection consists of samples of more than 1000 materials, a selected subset of the over 7,500 materials found in the Material ConneXion® database, as well as materials we purchase.
The 2017 collection from Material ConneXion is now on display. Material ConneXion® is a leading global platform for innovative and sustainable materials used in design, building and manufacturing. Our materials are housed in room 2420 on the east side of the second floor of the Art, Architecture and Engineering Library. This collection is available for in-house use to any university faculty, staff, or student. Please stop by to see and touch the materials!
