The Library Building, constructed in 1962, housed the School of Law until the mid-1980’s when the law school moved to its new campus in Hartford. Harleigh B. Trecker was a popular dean of the School of Social Work. In 1985, separate libraries for the undergraduate program, the School of Social Work (also called the Harleigh B. Trecker Library) and the School of Business Administration were brought together in the location of the former Law School Library. The new Library was re-dedicated to Dean Trecker that same year. Dean Trecker’s photograph is on display at HBT.
