Inaugurado el 6 de abril de 1970, la biblioteca lleva el nombre de un exalumno que murió en la guerra de Vietnam. El edificio se entiende como una interpretación moderna de la arquitectura de Healy Hall. La biblioteca cuenta con vistas al río Potomac y el horizonte de la vecina Rosslyn, Virginia. Diseñado por el arquitecto Juan Carl Warnecke, el edificio se supone que es una interpretación brutalista de flamenco románico Healy Hall, ubicada junto al Lauinger, Georgetown. Los estudiantes de Georgetown, Inc. (una organización de la universidad), también conocida como "El Cuerpo", opera una tienda de café en el segundo piso del edificio. (es)
- The Joseph Mark Lauinger Library is the main library of Georgetown University and the center of the seven-library Georgetown library system that includes 3.5 million volumes. It holds 1.7 million volumes on six floors and has accommodations for individual and group study on all levels. It is generally referred to colloquially as "Lau" by Georgetown students. Opened on April 6, 1970, the library was named after an alumnus and Georgetown Chime who was killed in the Vietnam War. It holds the Woodstock Theological Center Library, the remnants of the library of Woodstock College and one of the country's leading Catholic theological libraries. The fifth floor houses the Booth Center for Special Collections, named after David G. Booth, which contains a number of archival documents related to Georgetown as well as an extensive collection of rare books, manuscripts, and art. Lauinger Library replaced Riggs Library, which had been the main library at Georgetown since 1891, one of the few extant cast iron libraries in the nation. By the middle of the 20th century, Riggs no longer had the capacity to serve as Georgetown's primary library. The need for more space was the primary reason for the construction of Lauinger. However, Riggs library still serves its original function—storing books—despite that it is mostly used for formal events at the university. The library has views of the Potomac River and the skyline of neighboring Rosslyn, Virginia. Designed by architect John Carl Warnecke, the building is supposed to be a brutalist interpretation of Flemish Romanesque Healy Hall, located adjacent to Lauinger on Georgetown's main quad. The Students of Georgetown, Inc. also known as "The Corp," operates a coffee shop named "The Midnight MUG" on the second floor of the building. The cafe is usually referred to as "Midnight MUG" or simply "Midnight" and has been in operation since 2003. The library has been designated one of the ugliest buildings in America, with Business Insider labeling it the second ugliest in Washington, behind the Watergate complex. (en)
