===Buildings=== [[File:Cherry Trees around Haverford College Founders Hall.jpg|thumb|right|Cherry trees and Founders Hall]] The college has more than 50 academic, athletic, and residential buildings, which are mostly stone and reflect Quaker and colonial design principles. The most recent additions are the Marian E. Koshland Integrated Natural Science Center and the Douglas B. Gardner '83 Integrated Athletic Center (colloquially referred to as the GIAC). Two dorms, by [[Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects]], began housing freshman and upperclassman in the fall of 2012. Haverford's Lutnick Library (formerly known as Magill Library) boasts more than a half million of its own volumes and has access to nearly two million more through its unusual Tripod computerized catalog system, which integrates its library with those of neighboring Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore Colleges. In addition to Lutnick's main resources, the college maintains three smaller music, science, and astronomy libraries and a number of special collections including the Quaker and Special Collections sections that include numerous rare books and other treasures such as the C.C. Morris (Class of 1904) Cricket Library.<ref name='MorrisLib'>{{cite web |url=http://www.haverford.edu/library/cricket/site_update/famous_Lester.htm |title=The C. C.
