Bruno Business Library was built in 1994 on the old site of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity (which was literally picked up and moved in order to make way for the new library). The building was named in honor of Angelo Bruno (1924- 1991), who was Chairman of the Board of Bruno's, Inc. and donated 4 million dollars toward the construction of a business library.
