Show morePhotograph of Armour Research Foundation Engineering Research Building. The building was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Five bays of this building, known then as the Diesel Lab Building, were constructed in 1944, with five new bays following later that year. In 1945, an additional 7 bays were begun. Only upon their completion in 1946, did the ARF Engineering Research Building reach its final dimensions. The university library was housed in the south section of the building before the construction of the John Crerar Library in 1962. The building is also known as: Armour Research Foundation Automotive Research Laboratory (1945), Armour Research Foundation Engineering Research Building (1946-1963), Illinois Institute of Technology Research Institute Engineering Research Building (1963-2011).
