years.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 1974, the Library building</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> opened at the corner of Gould and Victoria, becoming a new landmark for the university. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The brutalist style architecture, which embraces ideals of simplicity and functionalism, complemented the egalitarian function of the library as a place to access information, while also highlighting modern ideas and new ways of thinking. The design was forward thinking, and embodied the creative, scholarly, and practical work happening at the institution and within the Library.</span></p> <p>Join us as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Library building.
