Hayden Library

Capping off a $90 million renovation, ASU’s Hayden Library, originally built in 1966, has been reinvented and reopened for the 21st century, with an eye toward maximum accessibility, engagement and support for the university’s growing student population. 

Hayden Library’s revamped five-story tower, which sits at the center of ASU’s Tempe campus, now features nearly double the student space, enhanced study areas, community-driven book collections, two reading rooms, a variety of research services and interdisciplinary learning labs and an entire floor devoted to innovation and exploration. 

Discover interdisciplinary and specialty centers at Hayden Library:

  • Community-Driven Archives Initiative
  • Unit for Data Science and Analytics
  • Map and Geospatial Hub
  • Labriola National American Indian Data Center
  • Makerspace
  • Naturespace
  • Book Arts Studio
  • Researcher Support

The Hayden Library is named for Charles Trumbull Hayden, founder of Tempe and the first president of the board of the Arizona Territorial Normal School.
