Apicella + Bunton Architects. A renovation has revitalized the Yale University Library’s Manuscript and Archives Department’s dark and drafty space in Sterling Memorial Library, creating a warm and bright research center for students and scholars to study archival collections documenting America’s political, legal, diplomatic, social, and cultural history to the present day.

Mark Hesselgrave Architect provided technical support in detailing the new millwork for the space which needed to blend seamlessly with the existing historic millwork, while using modern construction methods and materials.
