Low Memorial Library, located at the heart of Columbia University's Morningside Heights campus in New York City, is one of the university's most iconic landmarks. Completed in 1897, it originally served as the university's main library and now functions as a ceremonial and administrative hub.

Designed by the eminent architect Charles Follen McKim of McKim, Mead & White, Low Memorial Library exemplifies the Neoclassical architectural style. Its grand dome, inspired by the Pantheon in Rome, rises prominently over the campus, symbolizing knowledge and enlightenment. The building's stately columns, expansive steps, and detailed friezes reflect classical ideals of harmony, proportion, and permanence.

Named in honor of Seth Low's father, Abiel Abbot Low, the building represents a family's dedication to education and public service. Inside, the Rotunda—a majestic space with marble finishes and intricate detailing—hosts events, exhibitions, and gatherings.

Although no longer a functioning library, Low Memorial Library stands as a centerpiece of Columbia University, embodying its rich history, academic excellence, and commitment to intellectual pursuit.
