This building is located on Delhi Avenue. It was opened on 21 July 1967 by Dr. A. L. Mudaliar (Chairman of the Board of Governors). This was the third place to serve as the IIT Madras Library, the first being on the third floor of A. C. College of Technology (until August 1961) and the second being on the second floor of the Building Sciences Block (until July 1967).
The building in the photograph, which served as the Central Library for 33 years is now the IIT Madras Department of Management Studies (DoMS). The Annual Report of 1967-68 states that the total attendance of members to the library during the academic year was 1,08,000 and the number of books and periodicals issued was 1,26,000. In July 2000, the library was shifted to a newly constructed six-storey building known as ‘Central Library Millenium Building.’
