The library holds 2.7 million volumes and serves as the main branch of the Tufts library system.[1] The building was originally designed in a brutalist style by Shepley Bulfinch Richardson and Abbott. Construction started in January of 1964 and the library was originally named Wessell Library after Tufts' eight president Nils Yngve Wessell. At a cost of $2.9 million the library was dedicated on September of 1965. Wessell Library succeeded Eaton Memorial Library as the main library on campus and was constructed next to it.[2] After a $21 million renovation, the library was enlarged in January of 1996 and was renamed after Jonathan and Steve Tisch who donated $10 million for the project.
