J. Henry Meyer Memorial Library
Meyer Library - Stanford University

The J. Henry Meyer Memorial Library is one of several libraries at Stanford University. It was formerly known as the Undergraduate Library. The building, dedicated on December 2, 1966, is slated for demolition by 2012.[1][2]

Designed by architect and Stanford alumnus John Carl Warnecke, Meyer Library's arcades feature high columns and vaulted ceilings. The library is a four-story building with a sloping tile roof, and the outer sides of the building is lined with vertical bands of tall windows. The inner, central section of each side of the building is textured with a mesh of small windows.

The first floor of Meyer Library consists of several seminar rooms, a computer cluster, as well as a 24-hour study room. The first floor is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The second floor is the home of Academic Computing and Residential Computing, which provides technological expertise and resources to faculty and students. In addition to a general computer cluster, there is a specialized Multimedia Studio and a Digital Language Lab. Also, the Meyer Technology Services Desk is present here to provide direct troubleshooting and consulting services. The third floor contains library systems and offices. The fourth floor houses the East Asia Library, which has a vast Chinese collection of over 300,000 volumes, a Japanese collection of over 100,000 volumes, and a new Korean collection of over 10,000 volumes.
