BookBridge

Library

The BookBridge is one of the first structural applications of tropical Mass Engineered Timber (MET) made from pulp and chips from fast-growing tropical plantations. The BookBridge makes the closed rare book collection fully visible from the public plaza forefront, with its long-span shelves symbolizing one of the missions of the NUS Central Library: Bridging Knowledge for a Sustainable Future. Its wide-open timber surfaces provide users with seamless study experiences full of serenity. Tropical MET can retain atmospheric carbon in solid status in the long term, becoming a true game-changer in the era of global warming.
