The only building by Foster and Partners in Cambridge, and very typical of the Norman Foster style. It is poorly served by its location, being far too cramped on this site. The glass lobby is typical style for the era but does not use much space. This building had one of the highest specifications for any building in the city.

Initially the library opened out with the rest of the building, which made it noisy, but a glass partition was added which solved the problem.
