The Gould Memorial Library [5] is from NYU's previous occupation on this campus. It has a rotunda dome, and is currently used as an event space. [6]

When Bronx Community College began operations on this campus around 1973, Meister Hall was used as the main library facility. With the collection and needs expanding, Sage Hall was used eventually to house the Gerald S.
