Hayden Library is on Cady Mall in the center of the Tempe campus and is currently under renovation. It opened in 1966 and is the largest library facility at ASU.<ref name="lib.asu.edu"/> An expansion in 1989 created the subterranean entrance underneath Hayden Lawn and is attached to the above-ground portion of the original library. There are two floors underneath Hayden Lawn with a landmark known as the ''"Beacon of Knowledge"'' rising from the center. The underground library lights the beacon at night.

The 2013 [[capital improvement plan|Capital Improvement Plan]], approved by the [[Arizona Board of Regents]], incorporates a $35&nbsp;million repurposing and renovation project for Hayden Library.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://azbex.com/az-regents-ok-375m-in-capital-projects-through-2016/ |title=AZ Regents OK $375M in Capital Projects Through 2016 &#124; Arizona Builders Exchange |publisher=Azbex.com |access-date=July 8, 2014 |archive-date=March 24, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140324185134/http://azbex.com/az-regents-ok-375m-in-capital-projects-through-2016/ |url-status=dead}}</ref> The open air moat area that serves as an outdoor study space will be enclosed to increase indoor space for the library. Along with increasing space and renovating the facility, the front entrance of Hayden Library was rebuilt.
