Opened in 1992, the Foley Center is named for longtime Spokane County Superior Court Judge and alumnus Ralph E. Foley and his wife, Helen Higgins Foley, the parents of Thomas S. Foley, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. The Foley Center serves as Gonzaga's primary library. Through a consortium of northwest libraries, Foley Center makes available hard-bound and electronic resources worldwide. The Rare Books Room holds manusrcipts dating back to the 1400s, and the Media Center lends multi-media equipment for class projects. The Disability Resources, Education, and Access Management (DREAM) Offices are also located here.
