The George A. Roberts Engineering Hall was dedicated on May 19, 1997.

When Dr. Roberts agreed to fund Roberts Hall, he asked to have his book collection in the building, along with the books and collected papers of his mentor, Robert F. Mehl. Mehl was Professor and Head of the Department of Metallurgy, 1935-1960.

These materials were brought together where they remain housed in part of the Hall known as the "Dilks Library"--a small conference room with locked bookcases, located next to the Singleton Room by the Roberts Atrium.

The University Archives has recently devoted attention to some of the non-book materials and papers, such as Roberts' personal momentos, company information about Teledyne Corporation; as well as, photos and awards related to Roberts' career. For a detailed inventory, contact the University Archives.
