CV Starr East Asian Library

The CV Starr East Asian library at UC Berkeley features a rich palette of materials that beautifully frame the collection and serve to create an engaging, rich environment from research and exploration. The exterior is comprised of rainscreen stone cladding, bronze and copper cladding, glass window walls and cast bronze sunshades. The sunshades filter light into the central hall, select reading rooms and offices.
