The Exchange at Falmouth University, Penryn, United Kingdom. Architect: Burwell Deakins Architects, 2013. Canopied library entra


The extension to the existing library at the Penryn campus knits together the principles and educational goals of two institutions. Running down the hillside, the interior flows between social eddy pools and informal learning environments. These complement the more formal learning spaces and develop a collaborative cultural life at the heart of the campus. The Exchange will become a part of daily life; a welcoming village street to which students will gravitate naturally, spontaneously, or intentionally, to meet, continue conversations, study, exchange ideas, or seek advice and support.
