The University of Texas at San Antonio Libraries (UTSA Libraries) is the academic library of The University of Texas at San Antonio, a state research university in San Antonio, Texas, United States. UTSA Libraries consists of the John Peace Library (JPL) on the Main Campus, the Downtown Library, and the Applied Engineering and Technology (AET) Library. The libraries provide students and faculty with a comprehensive access to information as well as spaces for active learning, teaching, and interdisciplinary scholarship. ==History== The John Peace Library was the first library built at UTSA and officially opened its doors on Wednesday, June 2, 1976. The Downtown and AET libraries opened in 1999 and 2010, respectively. The JPL was named after the first collection donated to UTSA. Before its opening, the library was housed in the Physical Education Building. The first UTSA president, Arleigh B. Templeton, who had previously overseen the design of the library at Sam Houston State University, envisioned a similar library for UTSA. “I said that what I wanted to do was take four football fields and stack them on top of each other,” said Templeton in a 2003 oral history interview. “In the middle I want the little librarians… And this one over here (UTSA) was a prize jewel.”〔 The John Peace Library was designed by San Antonio architect O'Neil Ford, whose work also included the Trinity University (Texas) campus and the Tower of the Americas. When it opened, the library was the largest building on UTSA’s campus. At the time it housed 350,000 volumes (200,000 of them on microfilm) and study spaces for about 1,300 students.〔
