History
The Ateneo Professional Schools was formerly known as the Ateneo Graduate School during its Padre Faura days. It consisted of the Law School and Graduate School of Business. In 1977, the schools moved to Salcedo Village, Makati. It is here where it changed its school name to Ateneo Professional Schools (APS). The Library as an integrated but independent unit of the APS, adopted the name Ateneo Professional Schools Library (APSL) to complete its acculturation.
Year 1998, for the third time, the APS transferred to a more settled place at Rockwell Drive, Rockwell Center, Makati.
