About

ÂÜÀòÍøÊÓƵ

The William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library is the main library at this public university serving more than 64,000 undergraduate and graduate students. This project transformed a library that had largely functioned as three separate buildings, due to former additions and renovations, into a unified and flexible 21st-century research library and campus hub. Challenges included reconfiguring the internal organization and merging building styles and materials without increasing its gross size.
