The History of UCT Libraries

This newly built state-of-the-art library complex became the centrepiece of Upper Campus. The Chancellor Oppenheimer Library was named after its benefactor, at an opening ceremony in October 2001.

The Brand van Zyl Law library moved with the Faculty of Law down the hill from Upper Campus to the Faculty’s current location on the Middle Campus in July 2000. At present, the Law Library is on the two lowest floors of the Wilfred and Jules Kramer Law School Building.
