This list of Northwestern University buildings encompasses the two campuses in Evanston and Chicago, Illinois. The Evanston campus has witnessed approximately 150 buildings rise on its 240 acres (0.97 km2) and the downtown Chicago campus of approximately 25 acres (100,000 m2) is home to the schools of medicine and law.
The Charles Deering Library is a library located on the main Evanston campus of Northwestern University. The Deering Library presently houses the Government Publications Department and the Northwestern University Archives on the first floor, the Music Library on the second floor, and the Map Collection, the Art Reference Collection and the Special Collections Department on the third floor. The Deering Library served as Northwestern's main library until the completion of the University Library in 1970.
The Seeley G. Mudd Science and Engineering Library
The Northwestern University Library is the principal library for the Evanston campus of Northwestern University. The library holds 4.6 million volumes, making it the 11th largest library at a private university. The building was designed in brutalist style by Walter Netsch of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. Construction started in 1966 and the library opened in 1970. The library succeeded the Charles Deering Library as the main library on campus. The Deering Library was connected to the main library through construction, and continues to house the University's special collections. Until the building's completion in 1970, the Deering Library, now connected to the University Library, served as the primary library for the Evanston campus.
