[LIB7614] The second dedicated library building on campus, Mills Memorial Library was built between 1949 and 1951.
Costing over $500,000, the building was almost 30,000 square feet and had a capacity for over 150,000 volumes. It featured a periodicals lounge, microfilm room, reserves reading room, large reference area, photo lab, and projection room.
The Mills building served as the Rollins library and Archives department until the early 80's, when the new Olin Library was constructed. [Website]
