The library, originally designed by Ellis F. Lawrence in 1937, was expanded in 1950 and again in 1966. By the 1980s, though, seating in the library had become displaced by books and the building's infrastructure was inadequate to meet modern needs. In 1992 the university undertook a major library expansion and modernization
project. Today, the Knight
Library preserves the beauty of Lawrence's original design while providing
students and the entire community with the latest informational tools and instructional
services utilizing state-of-the-art technology.
