The Musagetes Architecture Library is a full-service branch of the UW Library system. The library, located in UW's new School of Architecture in Cambridge, gets its name on behalf of the Musagetes Fund at the Kitchener and Waterloo Community Foundation—a fund created by local philanthropists Michael Barnstijn and Louise MacCallum. With a $2.5 million donation from the Musagetes Fund, the University of Waterloo is able to provide its 400 architecture students, faculty, and staff with a library in a creative research environment.
