At the end of the classroom arm, as if it were its hand, stands the new library building. This hand rests on the ground, using it as a mould. The inclined plane of the watercourse gives us the lateral access ramp and a succession of stepped platforms in the interior, organising different areas framed by books, all of which are, in turn, encompassed in a high common space.

A succession of large inclined planes, in the manner of saw teeth, once again capture the natural light and, as if hiding under the wing of classrooms, try not to exceed the levels of the main corridor and interior platform, their position helping to close off the interior meadow, but by always accompanying the watercourse and the interior slope, they do not impede the relationship with the distant landscape.

A blind façade towards the theoretical interior domain, and a transparent one coinciding with the corridor, continues the interior glazed ring, which is completed by a meandering walkway between tree canopies and the second hand in the Departments wing (assembly hall).
