Library & Learning Commons in 2026
Library Before Renovations

 

Then

The tools may have changed, but the Library has always been Stockton’s hub for learning and technology. In the 1970s and ’80s, Media Services connected classrooms with audiovisual equipment, while computer labs, microfilm readers and print reference collections gave students access to research that today is just a click away.

Now

Stockton University’s newly renovated Richard E. Bjork Library and Learning Commons is transforming the way students learn, collaborate, gather and connect. Following a two-year renovation, the space now offers expanded learning areas, additional study rooms, enhanced technology and opportunities for hands-on, experiential learning.
