Eighty years ago today, on September 14, 1932, students entered the Tompkins-McCaw Library for the Health Sciences (TML) for the first time. Simply called the "college library" when the building opened, the Georgian-styled facility featured a large reading room with windows on three sides (the current Special Collections and Archives Reading Room), stacks with Snead steel shelving and cubicles for students (still in use today), and five seminar rooms (presently available as group study rooms). The interior of the original building included a skylight and walls painted in a shade of gray-green popular with designers at that time.
