Overview

The Baker Library

The construction of the Baker Library was completed in 1927.[1] It was named for philanthropist George Fisher Baker.[1] From 1930 to 2007, the bell in the tower came from the Danilov Monastery in Moscow, Russia; it had been donated by Charles Richard Crane.[1]

The Bloomberg Center was built in 2003–2005.[1] It was named for billionaire alumnus Michael R. Bloomberg's father, William Henry Bloomberg.[1]

The complex includes 67 faculty offices, the de Gaspé Beaubien Reading Room, named for alumnus Philippe de Gaspé Beaubien,[2] the Stamps Reading Room and the Frist Faculty Commons, named for philanthropist Thomas F. Frist Jr.[1][3]

Architectural design

The 1927 building was designed in the Georgian Revival style by McKim, Mead & White.[1][4] The 2005 expansion was designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects and cost $53.4 million.[5][6]

Library collections

The library collections contain many rare books and documents of business history.[7][8][9]
