Los Angeles Architecture Office AECOM commissioned to design a new William H. Hannon Library, a new library at Loyola Marymount University Campus. This project would sustain an expanding book collection and accommodate rapidly evolving technology. This new Library represents a new paradigm in the delivery of information services to 21st century students. The library capitalises on the building’s prominent location and successfully fulfills the University’s goal as a functional gateway linking the academic and residential precincts, and identifiable campus landmark both from the inside and outside. The building is truly ‘of its place’ – an embodiment of a future-looking character that is respectful of the past. The architecture is formed around the geometries of a circle inscribed in a square. The square relates to existing academic buildings while the circle negotiates the geometries of the adjacent residential campus and maximize views of the bluff. Together they create a form that integrates the library functions and bind the two campus precincts. – AECOM
