Sterling Memorial Library at Yale was designed by James Gamble Rogers, who took over after Bertram Goodhue began the design and died in 1924. Yale University built it with John W. Sterling's bequest, given as $17 million in the text while the infobox lists a building cost of $8 million. The infobox gives completion in 1930 and opening in April 1931, but one section says it opened in 1935.
The style is Collegiate Gothic in the infobox and Gothic Revival in the text. The nave is Indiana limestone and Ohio sandstone in a self-supporting stone structure, and the tower has a welded steel frame. The tower is 150 feet (46 m) tall.
Features include the nave, an Alma Mater mural, about 680 stained glass panels and the Selin Courtyard. A $20 million nave renovation ran from 2013 to 2014. The nave and reading rooms are open on guided tours.
