Join APT Northeast for an exclusive tour of Yale University’s iconic Sterling Memorial Library. This guided experience will highlight the award-winning restoration of the Linonia & Brothers Room, one of the library’s most architecturally significant and beloved spaces.

The tour will be lead by Yale University Senior Architect/Planner, James Fullton, and participants will have special access to the renovated special collections classroom and reading room within Manuscripts & Archives, a thoughtfully updated space designed to enhance research and preservation.

The tour will also include David Riccio, from John Canning & Co., Ryan Stockman, from Grand Light, and Architects from Apicella + Bunton Architects. These firms have played integral roles in Yale’s preservation work in the building over the last decade.
