Chester Fritz Library

The Chester Fritz Library opened in the fall of 1961. It was financed by a $1 million dollar gift from Chester Fritz and $200,000 from the North Dakota Legislature for equipment. In 1982, an addition to the building was completed. It is the largest library in North Dakota with a gross floor space over 150,000 square feet. The library's distinguishing tower rises 82 feet above the center of campus on University Avenue.
