[摘要] In 1945, architect John F.D. Scarborough was commissioned to prepare designs for Australia’s first purpose-build academic library. Construction commenced in 1957, and the Baillieu Library was officially opened in 1959 by UoM alumnus and then Prime Minister, Robert Menzies. The library was named in recognition of a substantial bequest by Edward Lloyd Morgan Baillieu on behalf of the William Lawrence Baillieu Trust. A competition to design a mural for the foyer was held and the winning entry, Norma Redpath's Areopagitica, is still in place.

In 1945, architect John F.D. Scarborough was commissioned to prepare designs for Australia’s first purpose-build academic library. Construction commenced in 1957, and the Baillieu Library was officially opened in 1959 by UoM alumnus and then Prime Minister, Robert Menzies. The library was named in recognition of a substantial bequest by Edward Lloyd Morgan Baillieu on behalf of the William Lawrence Baillieu Trust. A competition to design a mural for the foyer was held and the winning entry, Norma Redpath's Areopagitica, is still in place.
Between 1969 and 1974, stages 2 and 3 of the development were completed. Extensions to the south-west, north-west and north-east corners added an additional 80,000 square feet to the library’s floorplan. In 2000, the Percy Baxter Collaborative Learning Centre opened on the first floor, providing computer facilities and e-learning classrooms. In the 21st Century renovations continue to ensure the Baillieu Library meets the continually evolving needs of students and researchers.
