John Peace Library (JPL)

UTSA Main Campus
John Peace Library | Assembly Room | 4.04.22
One UTSA Circle, San Antonio, TX 78249

John Peace Library (commonly shortened to JPL) is often called the “heart of the campus” and is one of the university’s five original buildings.

The library is named in honor of John R. Peace II, an active member of the San Antonio community who championed efforts to bring a four-year public university to the local community. San Antonio architect O’Neil Ford designed the building to be a centralized plaza for the university, which at the time, was the largest new university under construction in the United States.
