About the Library

Lewis Library was made possible through a generous gift by Peter B. Lewis, Princeton Class of 1955 and University trustee, and was designed by internationally acclaimed architect Frank Gehry. This bold facility, in the heart of Princeton University’s “science neighborhood,” provides soaring, colorful spaces where students, scientists and faculty can interact and share ideas.

The library reflects the interdisciplinary nature of science. It combines the outstanding collections and knowledgeable staff of the Astrophysics, Biology, Chemistry, Geosciences, Mathematics and Physics Libraries, the Map Collection, and the Digital Map and Geospatial Information (GIS) Center.
