The Jen Library's 85,000-square-foot building, occupying an entire city block, has been transformed from its original purpose into one of the largest art and architecture libraries in the United States. Built during the 1890s, the structure has housed at least five different businesses in its lifetime, including Levy and Maas Brothers department stores. The building was acquired by SCAD in 1996, and restoration work was completed in 1999. The library is named in honor of SCAD benefactors Jim Jen and the late Lancy Jen.
