The exposed reinforced concrete and precast structure is clad in a high performance twin wall façade. This façade functions as a thermal and acoustic buffer. The flue formed between the layers of glass assists the natural ventilation of the building while the timber brise-soleil prevent direct solar penetration, as well as heat gain and glare penetration. The heart of the facility is a glazed atrium linking the old library and new extension.

The 10,000m2 facility provides approximately 1,700 seats in total, accommodates a total book stock of 455,000 volumes, 10 collaborative study rooms, 500 open access IT places, IT teaching rooms, staff administration, ancillary accommodation and a canteen at entrance level.

There was extensive civil works on the project which included a new plaza and a new bridge over the national road that link the old and new campuses.
