The Sciences Library (colloquially known as "SciLi") is a Brutalist tower block completed in 1971 at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Rising 180 feet, it ranks among the city's tallest buildings and serves as the university's primary repository for collections supporting science, mathematics, medicine, psychology, and engineering. Beyond its stacks, the building houses the Science Center, Writing Center, Center for Language Studies, Map Collection, and the Friedman Study Center, functioning as a vital hub within Brown's five-library system.
