Bibliothèque universitaire de sciences
Education · by Lipsky+Rollet · 2005
9 rue de Saint-Amand, Orléans-La-Source, France
The university campus of Orléans-La Source, inaugurated in 1966, has expanded over the years to enhance student life and work conditions. The arrival of the tramway in 2000 prompted new projects, including the construction of the university science library, won by the Lipsky+Rollet agency in 1998. Budget cuts halved the initial program, but the building was completed in 2005 and quickly received critical acclaim from architectural publications, culminating in the prestigious Équerre d’argent award that same year. Located in the northern part of the campus, the library is positioned directly south of the tram station.
