Located near the Apor Palace, the building that currently houses both the „1 Decembrie 1918” University library and several other edifices of the Alba Carolina Citadel, had a former military purpose. The L-shaped building was erected in neoclassical style in the 1900’s. It initially served as a pavilion for warrant officers in the Austro-Hungarian army. Maps of the period also listed the building under the name of „Officers’ Pavilion no. 6”. Unfortunately, historical sources offer rather scarce information on this building on the old street of the pharmacy.
The edifice received a cultural purpose in 2003, when it was taken over by the „1 Decembrie 1918” University and benefited from extensive restoration and modernization works. Since 2006, it has served as the headquarters of the university library. It is a modern library that hosts various cultural and educational events: book launches, conferences, symposiums, exhibitions.
