POWELL LIBRARY

'Powell Library' is the main college undergraduate library on the campus of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). It was constructed in the 1920s and was one of the original four buildings that comprised the UCLA campus in the early period of the university's life. The Romanesque Revival architecture design and its site as a popular area for students to study has made it one of the defining images of UCLA.
Like the building facing it across the quad, Royce Hall, the building's exterior is modeled after Milan's Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio.[1]
It is named for Lawrence Clark Powell, a librarian at UCLA from 1944-1961. It is part of the extensive UCLA Library system.
