Rogers' work at Yale, including the Sterling Memorial Library and the residential college system, showcased his masterful integration of Gothic revival styles with modern functional requirements. His designs emphasized traditional craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the use of high-quality materials, which helped define the architectural character of Yale and influenced collegiate architecture across the United States.
