===Schools Quadrangle and Tower of the Five Orders===
By the time of Bodley's death in 1613, his planned further expansion to the library was just starting.<ref name="library-history">{{cite web|title=History of the Bodleian|url=http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/about/history|website=Bodleian Libraries|access-date=7 November 2017}}</ref> The Schools Quadrangle (sometimes referred to as the "Old Schools Quadrangle", or the "Old Library") was built between 1613 and 1619 by adding three wings to the Proscholium and Arts End. Its tower forms the main entrance to the library, and is known as the '''Tower of the Five Orders'''. The Tower is so named because it is ornamented, in ascending order, with the columns of each of the five orders of [[classical architecture]]: [[Tuscan order|Tuscan]], [[Doric order|Doric]], [[Ionic order|Ionic]], [[Corinthian order|Corinthian]] and [[Composite order|Composite]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Cole|first1=Catherine|title=The Building of the Tower of Five Orders in the Schools' Quadrangle at Oxford|url=http://oxoniensia.org/volumes/1968/cole.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/http://oxoniensia.org/volumes/1968/cole.pdf |archive-date=2022-10-09 |url-status=live|journal=Oxoniensia |volume=23 |pages=92–107 |date=1968|access-date=7 November 2017}} {{open access}}</ref>

The three wings of the quadrangle have three floors: rooms on the ground and upper floors of the quadrangle (excluding [[Duke Humfrey's Library]], above the [[Divinity School, Oxford|Divinity School]]) were originally used as lecture space and an art gallery. The lecture rooms are still indicated by the inscriptions over the doors (see illustration). As the library's collections expanded, these rooms were gradually taken over, the university lectures and examinations were moved into the newly created University Schools building.<ref name="library-history"/> The art collection was transferred to the [[Ashmolean]]. One of the schools was used to host exhibitions of the library's treasures, now moved to the renovated Weston Library, whilst the others are used as offices and meeting rooms for the library administrators, a readers' common room, and a small gift shop.
