V. Doshi, the CEPT Library is envisioned as a space for catalyzing connections between students and faculty of the various ‘academic departments. Neutrally oriented at a central location with separate and equal entrances facing all cardinal directions, access to the building — and identification with it — is collective across the campus. Architects: RMA Architects Area: 31000 m2 Year: 2017 At the most fundamental performative I the CEPT Library is a technologically adept repository of multi-format media, both responding to and anticipating the current and future ‘acquisitions of the university. Reading rooms, formal and informal reading spaces, individual carrels, seminar rooms, and administrative offices are accommodated in addition to softer and more flexible functions such as exhibition and presentation spaces.
