Vogel Library
The Robert and Sally Vogel Library is an innovative, technologically oriented, "learner's library" facility that provides space for both individual and group activities. It is connected to the Wartburg skywalk system.

The first floor of the library features the central integrated collection of books, periodicals and non-print materials; a curriculum wing housing elementary and secondary teaching materials with a classroom for the education department; a coffeeshop; and playback rooms, providing technology needed to use materials in the collection, such as microfilm readers and printers, VCRs, and CD players.

The second floor has the service desk, staff offices and work space plus an information library, where researchers have access to the reference collection and multimedia computers; information literacy classrooms; and a Center for Faculty Learning.

The third floor contains group study rooms; a central learning commons and learning cloister; individual information harbors and learning pods that accommodate a variety of learning and study styles; the Pathways Center for comprehensive advising, career development, testing, supplemental instruction, writing assistance and personal counseling; and the Wartburg archives, which will also include materials pertaining to the history of Iowa broadcasting.
