UC San Diego’s Geisel Library Named Among 25 Most Modern Libraries in World
Iconic Flagship Building is One of Only Two Academic Libraries Worldwide to Make the List
Geisel Library, the University of California, San Diego’s main library building, has been named one of the 25 most modern libraries in the world. The distinctive modernist building, which resembles a hovering spaceship, was noted—along with the others on the list compiled by www.bestcollegesonline.com—for “sleek architecture and the latest technology.”

SuHui’s comment: I work in the Geisel Library building. I have to admit when I saw the building for the first time 6 years ago, it looked a bit odd because of its futuristic design. But I got to love it. The building looks like a sparkling diamond at night, when all the lights are on – a spectacular sight. Come to visit the library when you have a chance. The library offers free Walk-in tours and Self-guided Tours
