The Architecture & Allied Arts Library is a leading center for art and architectural information in the Pacific Northwest. Occupying three floors of Lawrence Hall, the Library's unique spaces and seating arrangements provide a welcoming environment for its users. A hallmark of AAA Library is a two-story reading room named after Marion Dean Ross, whose bequest has enabled the development of a rich collection of rare architectural history books.

The AAA Library's collections primarily support the diverse academic programs associated with the School of Architecture and Allied Arts. In addition to the library's 80,000 bound volumes, holdings include architectural drawings, photographs, electronic resources, and theses and terminal project reports. The Library also holds about 2,700 periodical titles including approximately 350 current subscriptions. Complementing the AAA Library collection are more than 22,000 art and architecture volumes in the Knight Library. Important collections of architectural archives and drawings are housed in the UO Libraries' Special Collections & University Archives.

Administratively, the AAA Library is a department consisting of two units. In addition to the AAA library proper, there's also the Visual Resources Collection, the home of 340,000 slides and the center for the development of a growing digital image collection
