The Brownless Biomedical Library was designed and built in the late 1960s. The building is a brutalist design by architect Rae Featherstone. It contains collections relevant to life sciences, medicine, dentistry, health and veterinary sciences, and agriculture. The library is named after Sir Anthony Colling Brownless, who founded the Melbourne Medical School and served as vice-chancellor of the University of Melbourne for 29 years.

Check out the Medical History Museum on level 2 for the nineteenth century Savory and Moore Pharmacy complete with pharmaceutical jars and equipment.
