Farewell to Crosley Towler, Langsam’s neighbor

UC’s Crosley Tower was built in 1969, predating the Walter C. Langsam Library, which was built in 1978 and would become Crosley’s immediate neighbor. Named after UC alumnus Paul Crosley, Jr., the 16-story Brutalist-style structure was designed by A.M. Kinney Associates and was notable for being one of the largest single-pour concrete structures in the U.S. at the time. This month demolition began on Crosley, necessitating the move this past summer of the Chemistry-Biology Library located in the connector between Crosley and Rieveschl Hall – a move that resulted in the consolidation of its collections with that of the Geology-Mathematics-Physics Library to create the newly remodeled Science Library.

We bid a fond farewell to our famous neighbor. Thanks for the memories.
