Eisenhower]], former president of the university and brother of former U.S. president Dwight D. Eisenhower. The university's stacks had previously been housed in Gilman Hall and departmental libraries.<ref name="gil"/> Only two of the Eisenhower library's six stories are above ground, though the building was designed so that every level receives natural light. The design accords with campus lore that no structure can be taller than Gilman Hall, the flagship academic building. A four-story expansion to the library, known as the Brody Learning Commons, opened in August 2012. The expansion features an energy-efficient, state-of-the-art technology infrastructure and includes study spaces, seminar rooms, and a rare books collection.<ref name="JHU News Releases">{{cite web|title=Brody Learning Commons Opens at Johns Hopkins' Homewood Campus|url=http://releases.jhu.edu/2012/09/04/brody-learning-commons-opens-at-johns-hopkins-homewood-campus/|publisher=JHU|access-date=December 27, 2012|archive-date=January 28, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130128060301/http://releases.jhu.edu/2012/09/04/brody-learning-commons-opens-at-johns-hopkins-homewood-campus/|url-status=live}}</ref> | ||
