A separate library for first and second-year undergraduate students was established in 1960 when the College Library was established in the new south wing of Main Library. In 1964 it was renamed the Sedgewick Library after former professor and head of the Department of English Garnet G. Sedgewick. The growth of both its collections and the University's undergraduate population made it necessary for Sedgewick Library to move to new facilities, and in 1969 Rhone & Iredale Architects were commissioned to design a new undergraduate library. The new Sedgewick Library was opened in January 1973 – it was located underground, beneath Main Mall and directly across from Main Library. The building received several awards: 1970 Best Design Award, Canadian Architecture Yearbook; 1974 First Award of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada as the best building of all kinds built-in 1973; 1980 Honour Award, Architectural Institute of British Columbia.

Koerner Library.
