Library

St Hilda's College Library is a building constructed in 1934 by Sir Edwin Cooper. It is made of buff-coloured English bond brick with tile and stone dressings, topped with a slate hipped roof behind a parapet that has plain stone coping. The library is rectangular in plan, located on the ground floor and attached to the north end of an earlier college building, designed in the Neo-Georgian style.

The exterior features three storeys, an attic, and a basement. The east front has five bays, with tall triple-hung sash windows on the ground floor that have tile architraves and keyblocks. The first-floor windows are fitted with louvred shutters, and there is a broad stone cill band for the second-floor windows. The left bay is slightly recessed while the right bay is advanced, both featuring oculi on the first floor. The west garden front has a similar design but consists of four bays with an additional bay at each end. The ground floor end bays have tall sash windows set in stone recesses with round arches and small brick balconies, while the basement windows are adorned with rusticated stone arches set in a stone band. All sash windows include glazing bars, and flat roof dormers are present. The north side has three bays, with the centre ground floor window featuring a cambered arch and the left bay being recessed. The library connects to the Old Hall of St Hilda's College to the south, with the top storey of the canted north bay on the west side being part of the 1934 construction by Cooper.

Inside, the library has an oak panelled interior that is galleried on all four sides. The galleries have balustrades between broad piers that support a coffered ceiling. The doorway architraves at either end feature cornices on console brackets with small wooden urns above. The double doors are covered in leather, and there are polygonal vestibules.
