Visitors who pass through the Alumni and Visitors Center — UCR’s “front door”— will find an opportunity to relax in comfortable sofas among the works of alumni authors and artists.

Located up the stairs, and to the left, the center’s Goldware Family Library is designed to provide a little peace and tranquility for campus visitors.

“When we began planning for the Alumni and Visitors Center, one of our first priorities was to provide a warm and quiet space for informal gathering within the facility,” said Kyle Hoffman, assistant vice chancellor for alumni and constituent relations. “With its fireplace, comfortable furnishings and attractive views of the campus and Box Springs Mountains, the Goldware Family Library not only achieves, but surpasses, our original vision.”

The library is named after Nick and Susan Goldware (’69), Nick is chair of the UC Riverside Foundation and past president of the Alumni Association.

Art created by UCR graduates will also be displayed in the library in quarterly exhibits curated by UCR’s Sweeney Art Gallery. Currently, the work of John Holland (’62), a former president of the UCR Alumni Association, is on display.

Alumni artists and authors who would like to have their work displayed in the Goldware Library can contact the UCR Alumni Association at (951) 827-2586.
