新的马登图书馆不仅为学生、教师和弗雷斯诺社区提供了学习经验，它也是一个包含各种特殊空间的目的地。其中一个空间是入口处巨大的半透明雕塑，它创造了一个强大的外部形象，并确定了图书馆的组织来源。其他特色包括第二层的星巴克和与大学行政办公室相邻的屋顶露台。

The new Madden Library provides more than just a learning experience for students, faculty and the Fresno community; it is a destination containing a variety of special spaces. One such space is the large translucent sculpture at the entrance which creates a strong exterior image and defines the library’s source of organization. Other features include a Starbucks on the second level and a rooftop terrace with green roof adjacent to University administrative offices.

图书馆主要有开放的平面图，但包含了各种座位区域，包括舒适的地方，那里的顾客可以安静地阅读和学习，以及在大楼梯上内置座位。

The library has primarily open floor plans, but incorporates a variety of seating areas, including comfortable places tucked away where patrons can retreat for quiet reading and studying and built-in seating on the grand staircase.

图书馆位于和平花园附近的中央校园，其独特的特点是北面的立面完全透明，这使得建筑有充足的光线，同时也提供了美丽的花园景观。在建筑过程中广泛使用自然日光、自然通风和回收产品，使建筑具有高度可持续性。

Situated on the central campus adjacent to the Peace Garden, a unique feature of the library is its entirely transparent façade on the north elevation, which allows abundant light into the building while providing a beautiful view of the garden. Extensive use of natural daylight, natural ventilation and the use of recycled products during construction have resulted in a highly sustainable building.

Library experts at AC Martin and Hillier Architecture understood that the ‘library of the future’ must use technology to enhance rather than replace traditional library functions. The technological innovation employed in the new library aids librarians in creating a more efficient system and helps patrons utilize resources more effectively.
