Скачать или смотреть USIU Library

Opened in 2005, the Library is placed at the 'hub' of the University, where students can easy gain access from all part of the site.

The design takes full advantage of natural air movement in, through and out the top of the building. All external windows are operable but lockable double glazed solar glazing to provide both sun shading and security.

A large central atrium, has been provided, open to all reading areas around the Library, which creates a stack effect of warm area rising through the high level electrically operated windows, and cool air moving in through the low level window ventilation louvers.

The external finishes are maintenance free render and glass, and the building is the focal point of the whole University complex.
