The Linonia and Brothers Reading Room (L&B Room) is a popular study space serving generations of Yale students. A large space distinguished by its ornate plaster ceilings, rich woodwork, stained glass windows, and massive chandeliers, the room is outfitted with reading tables, comfortable green leather armchairs and couches, and built-in bookcases. Six alcoves, which overlook Selin Courtyard, provide a semi-private space for studying and reading. The renovation of the L&B Room will revitalize this architecturally significant space, providing improvements in lighting and environmental controls. At the west end of the room, the removal of wooden partitions will open access to a comfortable lounge area, a configuration that was part of the L&B Room’s original design.
Gifts of $100,000 or more to renovate the L&B Room will be recognized on a group plaque. A gift of $1,000,000 or more will be recognized with the naming of one of six available alcoves.
