The first library at NC State was housed on the second floor of Holladay Hall. In 1926, D.H. Hill Library (later renamed Brooks Hall) was built to serve as the official campus library. Soon a larger library was needed and the new D.H. Hill Library was built further west along Hillsborough Street and opened in 1953. Originally, the west wing served as the Erdahl-Cloyd Student Union. Today the ground floor of the west wing is referred to as “The Atrium” and houses dining services; the other floors are used primarily for library services and offices. D.H. Hill Library continued to grow and was still in need of expansion, so an eleven-story bookstack tower was dedicated on October 3, 1972 in conjunction with the celebration of the 83rd anniversary of the University. The library honors Daniel Harvey Hill, President of the University from
1908 to 1916. |
