Hayden Library, Phoenix

The Hayden Library is Arizona State University's biggest ahd the most visited library on campus. This building was constructed in 1966 and has seen renovations that have helped make it a state-of-the-art facility. The five-story tower features a contemporary design that helps highlight the open space available in the building.

Expanded study areas and two reading rooms help provide quieter spaces for enjoying your books. Interdisciplinary labs and research services help set the library apart as a center of learning. One floor of the library has been dedicated to innovation, helping to show the school's contributions to modern science.

There is a golden staircase that serves as a bit of Sun Devil pride, as well as a mural that depicts the local Native American cultures. The floor-to-ceiling windows let in a lot of light, reducing the dependence on artificial light. A bonus that these windows offer is impressive views of the campus.
