The Carnegie Building, located at 52 West Lorain Street in Oberlin, Ohio, was originally Oberlin's main library and is now home to the geology department classrooms, labs, and offices. Important administrative offices such as the Office of Financial Aid, Office of Student Accounts, Office of the Registrar, and Office of Student Employment are also housed in this historic building. Designed by architects Patton and Miller of Chicago and constructed of Amherst sandstone, the four-story building opened in 1908 as a gift from philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. Despite a rear addition in 1940, the library space eventually became insufficient and the Seeley G. Mudd Learning Center became the new home of Oberlin College Library in 1974. Carnegie was then reconfigured to house administrative offices and the historic Root Room on the second floor is now used for large campus and community functions. The building serves as a hub for various events and activities on campus, making it a central location for students and staff alike.
