Denver Seminary

11 Paul and Marjorie Lewan Learning Resource Center Library Named after the first president of the Seminary, the Carey S. Thomas library is located in the Paul and Marjorie Lewan Learning Resource Center. The library is comprised of volumes carefully selected to provide the best in theological and scholarly literature as an undergirding for the school's curriculum. The present collection totals approximately 185,000 volumes, both in print and electronic format, and is located in the main library in Littleton, Colorado and in the branch libraries in Glenarden, Maryland and Amarillo, Texas. The library offers online bibliographic searching through a variety of academic databases, made available to students through licensing fees paid by the Seminary. The library currently subscribes to approximately 250 periodicals. Earlier bound volumes, including back runs of 700 other titles, are located in the bound periodicals area. The library has an online public catalog which may be searched via the Seminary's website. Additionally, the online catalog allows patrons to access their li- brary accounts, request and check on holds, and renew books. An interlibrary loan service at the main library (also accessible from the website) is available for obtaining library materials from other libraries. To honor Dr. Vernon C. Grounds for his years of service as president and chancellor, and in appreciation of the 25,000 volume personal library that he donated to Denver Seminary, the Vernon Grounds Reading Room is located at the west end of the main library, housing his collection as well as the Chancellor's office. Students on the main campus also have access to the facilities of the Ira J. Taylor Library at the Iliff School of Theology on the University of Denver campus and the Cardinal Stafford Library at St. John Vianney Theological Seminary. Student Center The Vernon and Ann Grounds Student Center is not simply a place for students to gather, it is a place where lives can be changed. With plenty of comfortable seating in an inviting atmosphere, the student center is a place where students learn from each other, challenge one another to grow spiritually, encourage one another to pursue their calling, and develop relationships that can last for a lifetime of ministry. Additionally, faculty members and seminary mentors have the opportunity to deepen their relationships with students through meaningful interaction in an informal setting. Fueling the sense of community and adding to the welcoming atmosphere is the Nixon's Coffee Shop, serving a variety of coffee drinks, breakfast foods, and lunch sandwiches. Student Apartments A four-building apartment complex houses both married and single students. The three-story buildings contain one-, two- and three-bedroom units for married students with children or for single students who wish to live alone or share an apartment with other single students. An application for campus housing is sent out after the application for admission is received. As apartments become available, they are assigned in the order housing applications are received and based on the occupancy date desired.
