最初的图书馆，可以追溯到70年代，显示出建筑和能源方面的缺陷，必须重建。通过切割部分建筑，Degelo建筑事务所不仅减少了旧图书馆不成比例的巨大体积，而且还使建筑对其城市环境作出反应。因此，该建筑成为一个被切割的钻石。这个晶体雕塑的立面是由电化学处理的铬钢组成。
The initial library, dating from the 70s showed architectural and energetic deficiencies and had to be rebuilt. By cutting away parts of the building, Degelo Architects not only reduced the disproportionately large volume of the old library, but also made the building react to its urban context. Thus the building became a cut diamond. The façade of this crystalline sculpture is composed of electrochemically treated chrome steel.
外墙将自己看作是一个界面，它在大学和城市之间进行交流。根据一天中的不同时间，周围的新古典主义外墙被反射出来，或者学生的活动从外面看出来。
The façade sees itself as an interface, which communicates between university and city. Depending on the time of day, the neoclassical façades of the surrounding are mirrored or the activities of the students become visible from the outside.
