What attracts people to this building you ask?

This building consists of the most recently updated technology, and is made from the lastest materials that not only looks fantastic but also holds it's ground against nature.

This library holds the most modern and most popular smart computers with the latest software as well as tablets for individual usage. The library uses the latest book storage/retrieval system (ASRS.) The ASRS (Automatic Storage Retrieval System) makes it fast, easy and proved to be an efficent source to store and retrieve peoples books. It is perfectly suited for the enviroment in california where there is constant earthquakes. A recent example is the University of Northridge. The Oviatt Library on it's campus uses the ASRS and in the Northridge Earthquake on January 17, 1994 almost 100% of the library's open shelf collection was dumped on the floor. Not one book in the ASRS was damaged. No bin was in danger of falling. This just proved that the ASRS system proves to be less susceptible to damage than the regular book stacking system.

In addition to modern technology, we also used the most beautiful, cost efficient and recyclable material to the library. Some of the materials are the sound atenuating glass, Terra Cotta rainscreen, ASRS system, glass curtain walls, a marble entrance and the main supplemental energy to electricity, solar panals.

If it sounds awesome then it will look awesome. This library will not only expand peoples desire to learn but it will also promote a social positive, and the desire for learning atmosphere.
