The Timken Science Library in Frick Hall (1900, 1998) was the original University of Wooster Library, 1900-1915, and The College of Wooster Library, 1915-1962 (after which the library collections in the humanities and social sciences were moved into Andrews Library). Its construction and expansion were made possible by gifts from Henry Clay Frick of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in memory of his parents. Following more than three decades as the College Art Museum, its grand neo-classical reading room was lovingly restored and its three floors of book stacks were completely rebuilt in 1998-1999, and the building was reopened as the Timken Science Library in Frick Hall, consolidating four branch libraries. The principal gift for the renovation was made by The Timken Foundation of Canton, Ohio. The building includes study carrels, two group study rooms, and a computer laboratory, in which science majors learn to search the major professional scientific databases online.
