Hunt Library lead designer attracting acclaim in key publications
The Oslo Opera House
In one week alone, Snøhetta, the Hunt Library’s lead designer, has garnered high-profile articles in two of the most influential magazines in the US.
Snøhetta has been chosen to, in effect, redesign New York City’s Times Square, and The New Yorker has published a feature on the architects’ goal of “using architecture to alter a city’s relationship to itself.”
In turn, The New York Review of Books–in response to a new book about Snøhetta’s Oslo Opera House–has produced a review of Snohetta’s impact on modern architecture to date. The Oslo Opera House, the article concludes, “has given the Norwegian capital one of Europe’s most enjoyable and instantly beloved public spaces of the past half-century.”
The Hunt Library comes with quite a pedigree!

Their reactions?
“I just want to say ‘thank you’ to the UNC system,” concludes one.

The Veterinary Medicine Library is open on Monday, January 21st from 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. for the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday.
The D.H. Hill Library and James B. Hunt Library are open 24 hours. See all NCSU Libraries Hours.
Additional study space open in Vet Med Library
The Vet Med Library has made more space for quiet study. The southeast corner of the Library between the A105 Group Study Room and the banquette seating along the south patio entrance wall is now an open seating space. The book shelving has been removed and the books formerly in that section have been consolidated with the other book stacks remaining. The reference books are now located on the south side of A105 Group Study. Sadly, there are no power outlets in this area to plug into–so be sure that your laptop or device is charged if you plan to study for long hours. We welcome your feedback about the setup and feel free to move around the furniture in that area. Happy Reading!

The word about the Hunt Library goes national
“The Hunt Library, in my view, is the academic library with the widest array of technologies in the country”–that’s the conclusion of an Associated Press article that went on the wire this weekend and has been picked up by newspapers, TV stations, and websites across the country.
Now readers of the San Francisco Chronicle, the Houston Chronicle, the San Antonio Express, AOL.com, and the Washington Observer–among many others–are seeing the face of NC State University in the 21st century.
The print piece nails the story, but the companion AP video story also gives a great book’s-eye view of what it’s like to zoom away in the bookBot.
