Text description provided by the architects. A New Landmark, A New Identity: The Westlake University Library. The Library brings together the Main Library (floors 2–5), the History Exhibition Hall and Archives (ground floor), the AI Research Center (floors 6–7), and a tower. Located at the northwest end of the Science and Technology Island, the building anchors the campus's central precinct. It enters with the Academic Hall into a compositional dialogue—one square, one circular. Above, the 108-meter tower and the 80-meter Academic Exchange Center echo each other at the southeastern tip. Standing in visual counterpoint, they command sweeping views across the core campus from multiple vantage points.
