I've been to many universities all over the US and seen many campuses and libraries. Here's my take on Joe Healey: This is the most urban, modernist place I've seen! So big-city-like. The energy is stimulating. It moves you. Everyone's working all the time. Huffing puffing. All in this really industrial, urban, modernist setting. I loved it. From all the provincial paced libraries elsewhere, I could totally get used to this one. While you're studying, you'd want some energy around to get you going. Yet, this place has some sweet quiet spots too. All you gotta do is to go find yours!
Great place to study or relax. Nice assortment of books.
Great place to study on sixth floor.
Great views of the bay when you look up from your books.
