Miskatonic University’s Orne Library in Arkham, Massachusetts
Board
According to the Miskatonic University wiki, “the three-story building known as the Orne Library is a replacement to the former structure by the same name that was destroyed in 1878 of circumstances that not everyone is clear on. It currently contains the entire Orne collection and over 400,000 books, some of which are more rare than any contained in the libraries at Cambridge or Boston.”
I uploaded this as a board instead of a slab because the slab was too big for TalesTavern. I wish I would have known that before I plunked floors 2 and 3 on top of the bottom floor. As it is, separating the two cleanly I suspect will be a huge headache. If accessing this as a board won’t work for you, let me know and I’ll see what I can do.
This version of the Orne Library is somewhat incomplete. I followed two different versions of the floor plan I found online and was more or less done before I finally noticed there’s a basement. Also, the rest of the Wiki article referenced above mentions a vault. I’m not sure now if either floorplan shows where the vault is … it may be in the basement.
Otherwise, I did my best to recreate the Orne Library based on the Chaosium PDFs of Miskatonic University. The easy to find PDFs only include floors 2 and 3. I found a video going through the book where I found floor 1 … but they may not have been the same edition, because the tables didn’t match. Look up those pictures to see what sections and offices are what. Note, the rear office on floor 1 isn’t for anyone in particular.
Inside, you’ll find rows and rows of bookcases, plenty of study tables, a front desk (that I feel is fairly cleverly made from ship parts), bathrooms, stairs, elevators, classrooms, offices, a staff break room, and storage rooms for various materials (some safe, some less so). I used a mix of fantasy and scifi lighting to make the place as easy to see as possible. Hopefully it doesn’t look too mismatched.
