The Old Main Library of National Cheng Kung University is a modernist building with a T-shaped floor plan located in East District. The structure spans three basement levels and five above-ground stories, housing reading rooms and book storage areas throughout.
The building was constructed in 1957 during Taiwan's post-war reconstruction period, showcasing modernist features through geometric forms and reinforced concrete techniques. Its creation reflected the university's academic expansion during the early decades following the war.
The structure serves as a gathering point where students and scholars meet to study and exchange ideas across different disciplines. Its central position among other academic buildings makes it a focal point of campus life.
Access is provided through a ground-level main entrance with orientation aids in the lobby to help visitors navigate. The multiple levels allow logical distribution of services and collections throughout the building.
