How to Visit

The Engineering Library is in its own building between Loew Hall and the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building and across Stevens Way from the Husky Union Building (HUB).

Its proximity to the College of Engineering makes it a popular study spot for aspiring engineers, but all students are welcome to use the Engineering Library.

On the first floor, you’ll find computers, a printer, a book scanner, whiteboard tables, comfy chairs, and hanging outlets to power all your devices.

At the first-floor help desk, you can check out books and computer adapters and get expert research help from engineering librarians.

On the second, third, and fourth floors of the library, accessible by stairs or elevator, you’ll find the library’s extensive collection of engineering journals, books, technical reports, theses and dissertations, and more.

There are reservable group study rooms and a computer lab with all new computer hardware and access to software like Autodesk, Labview, Maple, Python, R, and Solidworks.

In addition to all of the great resources in the Engineering Library, there are lots of online engineering databases, journals, e-books, and more that you can access from anywhere at any time. See the Engineering Research Guide for links to these resources.

The fourth floor features a cool cantilevered study space that is literally hanging from the ceiling and some great views of Lake Washington!

This concludes our tour of the Engineering Library.
