          Living in a 21st Century Library: Princeton University’s Peter B.
Lewis Library

*Anne Langley, Head Librarian, Science & Technology Libraries, and Jane E.
Holmquist, Astrophysics, Mathematics and Physics Librarian, **at the Peter
B. Lewis Library, Princeton University, discuss how the library’s striking
architecture and interior design impact how students, faculty, **researchers,
and staff use this space.*

Many academic libraries worldwide are actively engaged in the process of
reinventing themselves for the 21st century. No longer just repositories
for print books and journals, primarily because of the explosion of online
information in the last several decades, the use of physical spaces is
evolving to serve the changing needs of the library community in different,
and sometimes exciting ways.

While many academic institutions are formulating strategies to create the
21st century library, students, faculty, researchers, and staff at
Princeton University have already been “living” in a 21st century library
since the opening of the Peter B. Lewis Library
<http://aip-info.org/1XQO-35CJF-IA1MKR-1G8BR5-1/c.aspx> in September 2008.

REALIZATION OF THE 21ST CENTURY LIBRARY

The Lewis Library, a bold departure from existing architecture on the
Princeton campus, was built through a generous gift by Peter B. Lewis and
designed by internationally acclaimed architect Frank Gehry. The
multistory, 87,000-square-foot science library is the hub of Princeton’s
“science neighborhood,” and enabled former branch libraries in
astrophysics, biology, chemistry, geosciences, mathematics, physics,
statistics, and psychology to be merged into one science and technology
collection.

“Princeton’s commitment to science and technology is embodied by the
library,” noted Anne Langley. “This exciting facility offers new
technologies for teaching and research, bright and inspirational spaces for
study and collaboration, services that bring information and resources
quickly to our patrons, and an environment reflecting the integrated nature
of science at Princeton.”

More sculpture than building, the library features curving lines,
juxtapositioning of roof and wall, bold use of color, innovative use of
both natural and artificial lighting, and an unconventional marriage of
stainless steel and brick. The “technology towers” and the way they
intersect with other spaces are symbolic of how the building diverges from
the old style library model. Intentionally there is almost no artwork
displayed in the building; the building is the art.

*The Lewis Library has become a center for the student experience at
Princeton. It provides patrons with a light and airy environment that gives
people a sense of space as well as a warm, safe, and comfortable
environment that inspires.*

FUNCTION INFLUENCES DESIGN

The interior of the building was designed for research and teaching in the
electronic age, keeping in mind that work in the sciences is increasingly
interdisciplinary and more dependent on computational tools and digital
information. Classes, lectures, and other events held at the library draw
attendees not only from science and technology disciplines, but also from the
arts and humanities. It fosters the type of interdisciplinary collaboration
and communication that often drives innovation.

During the design phase architects met with students, faculty, and
librarians to determine current and future library users' needs and wants -
to create a variety of spaces conducive to reflection, studying, teaching,
conducting research, and even sometimes catching a quick nap! Productive
workspace for library staff was also a priority.

The result was the creation of innovative study, research, classroom, and
work spaces. Gehry designed the library’s built-in furniture, working with
staff to test the designs. He also collaborated with librarians on the
selection of soft and hard seating that can be arranged into different
configurations
to suit specific needs. Typeface for signage and interior color schemes are
also Gehry designs.

DESIGN INFLUENCES FUNCTION

The Lewis Library has become a center for the student experience at
Princeton. It provides patrons with a light and airy environment that gives
people a sense of space as well as a warm, safe, and comfortable
environment that inspires. “It’s where people can come to think,
contemplate, and reflect,” commented Jane Holmquist. "Many faculty and
students have favorite spaces where they feel most productive and return to
them time and time again."

One gets the sense that the entire facility is a quiet zone and hushed
tones or no talking at all seem the norm. This is self-policed by the
library’s users.

When you want people to think outside the box, don’t put them in boxes.
Although the building’s interior space is measured in square feet, almost
none of the spaces are actually square. This is evident in a number of
group study rooms of varying shapes and sizes that are designed to
facilitate collaborative learning. Innovative design gives the feeling of
expansive space in relatively small areas. Rather than high tech solutions
for sharing information, here students have surprisingly opted for low tech
chalk boards.

Classrooms and seminar rooms are multifunctional with furnishings,
workstations, and instructional tools that can be adapted to accommodate
many uses, from lectures by visiting professors, to “orphan” classes that
span departmental boundaries and seminars conducted by the library staff.

In order to accommodate the breadth of the community spaces, some print
books had to be moved into storage. However, this has not proven to be
problematic and access solutions are largely user driven. The ReCAP
(Research Collections and Preservation Consortium) service enables patrons
to request books delivered the same day. In some instances material is
scanned, converted to PDFs and delivered electronically.

and virtual information flowing all around us.”
