{{Coord|43.128445|-77.628414|display=title}}{{Refimprove|date=November 2010}}Rush Rhees Library is the main academic library of the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York. It is one of the most visible and recognizable landmarks on the university's River Campus. Construction began in 1927 with the other original River Campus buildings and the library was dedicated in 1930. It is named after Benjamin Rush Rhees, the university's third president. A major addition was added in 1970, which now houses the main computer lab, additional stacks and office space. Rush Rhees is the flagship of the River Campus Libraries System, which holds about 3 million volumes. The library features an elevator completely original from 1930.^[1]

Robbins also set provisions for new acquisitions and established a trust of $160,000 for a fellowship program.^[3]
