Joe Dini, Jr. Library
The Joe Dini, Jr. Library and Student Center occupies a prominent location at the terminus of Western Nevada College’s entrance road to provide a strong visual image at the entrance to campus. The 35,000 square foot building features a 25,000 square foot library and a 10,000 square foot student center. In response to the importance of information technology, the library contains a large “electronic commons” featuring 40 computer workstations for research and data retrieval. In addition to the information resources, printed materials are housed in a large reading room with a capacity of 50,000 volumes and a variety of seating and study spaces. The Student Center is made up of recreational, athletic, and administrative spaces for the student body and WNC staff. The building utilizes environmental principles such as drought-tolerant landscaping, day-lighting, recycled materials, and energy efficient heating, cooling and lighting controls.
