Irwin Library
The Irwin Library is one of the two libraries operated by Butler University.[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 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]
