UP Los Baños Main Library and Administration (3rd floor)

The UPLB Main Library is the largest Agricultural Library in Southeast Asia. This building was a donation from the Southeast Asia Regional Center for Graduate Study in Agriculture (SEARCA) which it served as its library. The UPLB Main Library was then located on the Humanities Building (CAS Main Building) before its present location.

The building is designed by the National Artist for Architecture - Leandro Locsin, notable for its simplistic design. It is also located behind the statue of the Philippine Pegasus, a.k.a. "Pegaraw", a "genetically modified" tamaraw with bird wings and an eagle limb with other four feet and signifying Philippine Agriculture.

Currently, the third floor of the building serves as the UPLB Administration Office - including the Office of the Chancellor and Vice Chancellors.
