The historic West Wing, including the Willard Room, is a popular quiet study space for students. No tour of campus would be complete without a visit to this space, but please do respect the quietness we maintain in this part of the library. 

The four-panel Kenneth Adams mural, “Three Peoples”, located in the West Wing has been covered due to the offensive depictions of cultural groups in New Mexico.
