Gehry-Designed Library Opens at Princeton

Princeton University science majors start classes on September 11, but they'll also get a tutorial in cutting-edge architecture as they hit the books in the school's new Frank Gehry-designed Lewis Library.

The $60 million facility houses the university's collections for astrophysics, biology, chemistry, geosciences, mathematics, physics and statistics. It also contains student classrooms and seminar rooms. Below is the library's facade.
