Libraries have been described as 'the heart of the university,' and, perhaps in view of this, higher education institutions worldwide have realized the need to contemporize these vital spaces, investing in new technologies and welcoming modern design elements.
Leading architects and designers have been brought in to create university libraries that rightly stand as shining beacons of progressive learning, far more than just a collection of books. Here are 10 amazingly modern university library buildings from around the world.

The UCSD Geisel Library had a horrible reputation with Librarians because the climate control was next to nothing and the books baked in the sunlight through the windows despite the UV coating.
The library update that added the underfloor and the "crystal" skylights also added additional climate control throughout the building to help preserve the books.
