The entry way inside the main entrance is pictured above. Very elegant I must say. This will definitely be a top notch library in California amongst the institutions all over the state. I think the architects did an overall great job. It is still not completed but so far so good. My one issue is the south side of the new building. At this point it remains a cement color and I don't believe they plan to paint it either. Unfortunately, it reminds me of a prison from that angle. You can see a portion of it in the picture below.
It just seems to clash with the red brick next to it. Hopefully when the final product is complete it will mesh better. Like any art project, interior design, or building structures, the final product always looks better when it's 100% completed. What I am impressed with so far is the work in the Peace Garden. It is just amazing! It looks very serene and the glass exterior of the library compliment it very well.
The many walkways included in the design make it much more accessible than the previous layout. Hopefully they add a few benches there for people to enjoy the area. As you can see, much work has been put into this building and students will be proud to have something like this on their campus. Upon completion of this project, the campus flow should free up a little better with the additional space being utilized. In addition, the library will house a cafe and a Starbucks for some late night cram jams. January 2009 should be an interesting time for Fresno State, let's hope they complete it as planned.
That's all folks! I hope you enjoyed the tour. If you liked it check out the link on the top of this post for more pictures.
For future topics coming up we have: Cindy Lou Who, PEZ Candy, as well as the previous topics listed. I'm only going to do one a day so that I don't run out of stuff to talk about.
