Riggs Library

Riggs Library, the former University Library on the Hilltop Campus until 1970, is an event space on the south side of the Third Floor of the Hely Building. It is accessed from the south stair-tower of the Healy Building, or from the Maguire Building elevator (which is also provides ADA access to Riggs).

Riggs can be reserved through the Office of the President [(202) 687-3633] and through that office, staged as a lecture/presentation space with audience chairs, a conferencing space with tables, or a banquet space with round tables. Any catering or food service generally must be set up outside of Riggs in its foyer space, or in the adjacent Maguire Hall space in front of the elevator.

There is absolutely no voice, amplification, presentation or webconference technology built into Riggs, so for any event, mobile technology must be brought into the space. In your space reservations, please allow for technoloigy set-up two hours prior to the start time of your event, as well as cleanup time of at least one hour after event conclusion.
