Lewis, Princeton Class of 1955 and University trustee, and was designed by internationally acclaimed architect Frank Gehry. A renovation was completed in 2020, which brought the Engineering Library to the Fine Hall Wing of the Library (A-Floor), the creation of a new PUL Makerspace (A-Floor), the renovation of the Maps & Geospatial Information Center (A-Floor), and updated study and collections spaces on the A-Floor and B-Floor.
