The Roskilde University Library is as much a part of campus as it is a singularity. The high ceilings, polished concrete and sparse, formal furnishings of the vast main hall inspire a sense of sanctitude, establishing a place of quiet focus amid the greater commotion of the university. Large windows allow ample daylight to diffuse through central reading rooms and smaller focus spaces, and provide visitors a reflective view over the adjacent lake and university campus. The library’s glass facades establish a sense of transparency and connection with the rest of campus, while simultaneously preserving a sense of privacy and focus for the university’s scholars.
