Cambridge Law Library : Sidgwick Campus Architecture

Cambridge University Building - design by Foster + Partners

Law Library Cambridge Address: Sidgwick Campus, 10 West Road Date: 1995 Architects: Foster & Partners Cambridge Law Library For Cambridge University image © adrian welch Apparently nicknamed by some Cambridge students as the 'Bread Bin' this rather stark Foster building contains the 'relocated' Squire Law library with generous atrium, five auditoria and offices. Some users of the building initially complained about acoustics and many find the south facade (for one) overbearing and alienating. The Norman Foster library squares up to (with its point) the James Stirling library to the west: these are two buildings that are quite egotistical; one gets the feeling this building could have been anywhere.
