Cross Campus Library, now renamed in honor of lead donors Anne T. and Robert M. Bass, has been a mainstay for the academic pursuits of Yale undergraduate and graduate students since its opening in 1971. After thirty-five years of continuous service, this popular hub of learning has been completely revitalized. In addition to creating a handsome, light-filled environment, the reconstruction introduces a new concept in study space specifically designed for the types of learning and research activities typical of today’s students. The new Bass Library features areas for independent study, group study, and interaction with librarians and faculty, as well as flexible gathering spaces where the most up-to-date technology is available for collaborative study.
We are enormously grateful to Anne T. and Robert M. Bass ’71, who have stepped forward with a generous gift to help fund this major renovation. Inviting other alumni and friends to join them, the Basses have established a $13 million challenge earmarked for CCL’s renewal and will match contributions of $10,000 to $500,000; recognition is available for gifts of $50,000 or more.
