American Libraries - 2009 Library Design Showcase

The East Campus Library at James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Va., was one of 23 libraries featured in this year’s Design Showcase.

Excerpt from the article:

The design of the East Campus Library incorporates two main areas: a square-shaped core that contains traditional reading rooms, book stacks, and offices; and a curved “wing” that houses the open study areas. The building contains 45 group study rooms, including nine with LCD monitors, and a large flexible-use area with moveable furniture and whiteboards.
