ABOUT US

The Reference Library (TRL) was founded in 1987, by a local architect, to provide a complete information center for the design and construction professional. With a membership from the product manufacturers, product representatives, distributors and associations.

TRL is able to provide an invaluable resource to the entire architectural, engineering, and construction community at no cost. Over the past years, TRL has grown from a few dozen catalogs to over 2,500 reference materials and has become a building industry hub for Arizona, offering many benefits to the architectural and manufacturing companies in the state.
