In the summer of 1992, the lecture hall underwent a major renovation, as did several of the classrooms in Bareis. Beeghly Library is the intellectual heart of Heidelberg. Industrialist Leon A. Beeghly provided the major gift for construction of this three-story circular structure. Dedicated in 1967, the library has shelf space for 200,000 volumes. Beeghly holds the unique Besse Collection, nearly 7,000 volumes of English and American correspondence, and the Pohlable Collection of books on ballet and the circus.
Students have easy access to periodicals, reference books and listening equipment.
In the fall of 1994, an automated card catalog system went on line. Called 'Zerg,' it allows computer access to Beeghly's holdings, as well as Tiffin-Seneca Public Library holdings. Blue House , a three-story structure renovated in 1997, has housed various student groups over the years. Located across from National Machinery Inc., the Blue House is now home to Heidelberg's Division of Institutional Advancement, comprised of development, alumni relations and college relations. Brenneman Music Hall is the center for the college's musicians.
