Open for service on Sept. 9, 1963, Irwin Library was designed by world-class architect Minoru Yamasaki and was named to honor members of the Irwin family, who were prominent in the life of Butler University for over a century. The library provides an array of learning spaces for 400 students, including soft seating areas, study tables and carrels, private and group study rooms, and collaborative computer workstations. The first-floor Information Commons service point provides library research and instructional technology support. The building includes a computer lab that houses rich media equipment and software. Print and media collections in the building support the humanities and social sciences, education, business, and the performing arts. The building’s third floor is also home to the Center for Academic Technology, the Hugh Thomas Miller Rare Books and Special Collections Room, and the University Archives.
