建筑师们认为，图书馆空间多样，注重协作和社会学习，对研究机构过时的内向重点提出了挑战。图书馆将采用的尖端技术之一是自动图书检索系统。这一过程将减少200多万卷所需的面积，并以协作学习环境和其他学术需要的形式给出这一空间。

According to the architects, with a diversity of spaces and emphasis on collaborative and social learning, the library challenges the outdated inward-emphasis of research institutions. One of the cutting-edge technologies that will be employed in the library is an automated book retrieval system. The process will reduce the area required for 2 million-plus volumes and give that space back in the form of collaborative learning environments and other academic needs.

图书馆将容纳许多合作项目和学生资源，其中包括一个写作中心、数字学者工作室、创新实验室、数学和科学资源中心、沉浸式可视化工作室、创作者空间、研究生工作室、教室、阅览室、小组学习室、24至7区的咖啡馆，以及行政和工作人员办公室。被Sn hetta描述为“多孔”的这座建筑将允许进入区域之间的视觉连接，使人们更容易获得资源。

The library will house many partner programs and student resources that include a writing center, digital scholar’s studio, innovation lab, math and science resource center, immersive visualization studio, makerspace, graduate scholar’s studio, classrooms, reading rooms, group study rooms, a café, 24-7 zone, and offices for administration and staff. Described by Snøhetta as “porous,” the building will allow for visual connections across entry areas, offering easier access to resources.

图书馆的第四层包括有20万册的可浏览书库和一个三个方向不间断视图的主阅览室。Oculus允许用户俯视大楼的中庭，为用户体验添加了一个迂回的质量。三楼包括阅览室、灵活空间和可预订的自修室。大楼底层的活动空间可以容纳大约120人参加讲座、会议和其他聚会。建筑入口处的檐篷旨在提供住所、社交空间和举办户外课程的机会。图书馆的自动检索系统将处于最低水平。

The library’s fourth floor includes browsable stacks of 200,000 volumes and a main reading room with uninterrupted views in three directions. An oculus allows users to gaze down at the building’s atrium, adding a circuitous quality to the user experience. The third floor includes a reading room as well as flexible space and reservable study rooms. An event space on the building’s ground floor can seat about 120 people for lectures, conferences, and other gatherings. Canopies at building entrances are meant to provide shelter, social space, and the opportunity to host outdoor classes. The library’s automated retrieval system will be on the lowest level.
