The Irwin Library is one of the three libraries operated by Butler University, Indianapolis, United States.[1]Minoru Yamasaki was the lead architect, and constructed the library in the architectural style of New Formalism.[2] Construction of the library cost $2.25 million, of which $1.5 million was underwritten by the Irwin-Sweeney-Miller foundation.[3] After construction was finished, the library's first day of operation was on September 9, 1963. The library was named in honor of William G. Irwin,[4] who served as a trustee of Butler University from 1908 until his death in 1943.[5]
Irwin Library consists of the business, education, curriculum, and liberal arts resources as well as the performing and fine arts collections.[6] Butler University's second library, the Ruth Lilly Science Library, contains resources for Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics and Actuarial Science, Pharmacy and Health Sciences, and Physics.[7] Butler University's third library, the Education Resource Library, serves the College of Education by providing access to children’s, young adult, curricular, and professional resources.[8]
In 2021, a six-person panel of American Institute of Architects (AIA) Indianapolis members identified Irwin Library among the ten most "architecturally significant" buildings completed in the city since World War II.[9]
