"Adding 45,000 square feet to an existing library, some of it below grade and some in a new third level, allows for expanded study areas and new seminar rooms. A new rare-book reading room is wrapped in glass to create a sense of openness while allowing librarians to keep an eye on the books. " — Chronicle of Higher Education
