Dramatic entry from underground?

I haven't been back to Yale for some time, but I seem to remember entering the Sterling Memorial Library via a tunnel from a nearby library space. After spending some time reading in an underground room, ascending a staircase into the Sterling Library opened up a vast overhead vista in the cathedral-like space. It was a truly dramatic way to enter a library. This may have been notable enough to receive notice from a tour guide or other written publication. If this is recognizable to somebody with more familiarity with Yale, is this worth adding (with a reference) to the section on "Architecture"? Reify-tech (talk) 17:55, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
