"The James B. Hunt Jr. Library at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, was designed as a cutting-edge learning hub for a leading research institution. It fosters a collaborative environment for students and researchers, serving as both the university's second primary library and the cornerstone of its Centennial Campus plan. This technologically advanced facility sets a new standard for collaborative learning spaces."
