Andrew Carnegie founded Carnegie Tech in 1900, and architect Henry Hornbostel designed the campus beginning in 1904.

The Carnegie Tech Campus was
modeled in many respects after
Thomas Jefferson’s design for the University of
Virginia.
But while Jefferson’s
climactic building was the campus library, Carnegie Tech’s was the
power plant with a smokestack.

Carnegie thought libraries were very important, and used his fortune to support hundreds of libraries throughout the country, including a large public
library just down the street from Carnegie Tech. He figured that the Carnegie Tech students could go
there.

This never worked very well, however,
so small libraries sprung up on the
Carnegie Tech campus, including
one in the College of Fine Arts. This room
now houses the Studio for Creative
Inquiry.

When Carnegie Tech and the Mellon Institute for Industrial Research merged in 1967, the new Carnegie Mellon University inherited a library in the Mellon Institute
building. This facility still houses a biology and chemistry library.

When Wean Hall was built in 1972, it included an Engineering and Science Library. Collections
cover topics including engineering, construction,
building materials, computer-aided design, etc.

Meanwhile, a central arts, humanities, and social sciences library was built near the center of the campus in 1957-1961.

Hunt Library was named after donor Roy A. Hunt, an important figure in the aluminum industry. Aluminum was used wherever possible in the building. Students said that the aluminum fins
made the library look like a radiator.

Hunt Library’s generating idea is the book stack. The module of the book stack determines most of the
building’s dimensions and spatial configurations.

To find a book you need to know its library, its location (which is often related to size and the floor that it is
on), and its call number.
