Parnassus Library Architecture
Opened in September 1990, the Kalmanovitz building was designed by Esherick Homsey Dodge and Davis. The interiors of the 120,000 gross sq. ft. building were designed by SMWM and feature maple, cherry, and spruce wood on five floors. The building is named after Paul and Lydia Kalmanovitz.
The Teaching & Learning Center on the second floor was designed by Harley Ellis Devereaux.
Website Credits
The current version of the library website was released in January 2009. The site was designed by Duuplex in collaboration with Library staff and with input from the UCSF community. It runs on Drupal and was built with consulting help from Chapter Three.
