Celebrating 75 Years of the MD Anderson Library
The University of Houston MD Anderson Library was occupied in 1950 and dedicated on April 1, 1951. 75 years later, we are commemorating the legacy of our Library, the heart of the University, and looking toward the future of a Reimagined Library. In 2026, we invite the UH community to join us in celebrating this significant moment in our University’s history.
Celebrating 75 Years of the MD Anderson Library
The original MD Anderson Library, modest in size, has since evolved through three major expansions—the 1968 Blue Wing, 1977 Brown Wing, and 2004 Gold Wing—into a 400,000-square-foot facility. Its evolution mirrors the University’s growth, becoming a modern, collaborative hub for scholarship and creativity.
