Roux Library

1968

By 1965, the Frank Lloyd Wright designed E. T. Roux Library was unable to sustain the substantial growth to the College that was occurring at the time. Nils Schweizer was called to draw plans for a new library, and ground was broken for the new building on November 17, 1966. The building, still named for the Roux family, sits on the north side of the Waterdome opposite its predecessor on the southwest side. On March 24, 1968, the day Roux Library was formally opened, students made a chain to pass books from the original library to the current one and hand-over-hand transferred all of the library's materials over to their new home. Today, Roux Library features a classroom, multiple workspaces, a computer lab, as well as Tûtû's Cyber Café, named for donor Wynee Warden. The café was originally created and opened in 2007 and underwent a makeover in 2012 to add in group study spaces.
