"Completed in 1955. Modern in both design and function. This fine air-conditioned building is constructed on the modular plan, providing almost complete open stack library service. It also houses the audio visual aids and school librarianship departments. Some features of the building include separate quarters with fire-proof vaults for special collections, browsing room and sound-proof listening facilities." [HR0279]
