It is located  behind university  aula. The roof of the library is covered with grass,  which serves as a  natural insulation. The structure lifts from the  ground on one side  allowing to walk to the top of the building. The  library is topped by  the steel cone, giving its unique shape. The wall,  opposite to the Aula  is completely filled with glass. The library has  won the Dutch National  Steel Price in 1998 in the category buildings of  steel and hybrid  constructions.                            </blockquote>
