The official name of the new library at the University of Aberdeen was announced by the University on 21 September 2012, a year after the library opened its doors. The announcement was made three days ahead of its formal opening by Her Majesty The Queen, accompanied by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, in her duties.

Sir Duncan Rice served as University Principal and Vice Chancellor from 1996 to 2010 and it was during his tenure that the £57 million library was commissioned, designed and financed.
