If you're a library nerd, come here. Suzzallo was built to be a 'church to learning,' and it shows, with its stained glass windows and iron gratings. The library has two components: Suzzallo, which has reference books, microfilm/fiche, and maps, and the adjacent library, Allen, which has science materials and a ground floor open study area. The cafe in the entrance area on the Red Square side has Essential Baking Company snacks, including awesome and flaky chocolate-almond croissants, which have saved me from hunger for many a class. The internet access in Suzzallo and Allen is great, and there is guest access for researching the library if you're not associated with the UW. Be warned that printing can be very expensive, but enjoy your visit.
