The University of Washington's main library in Seattle is a bit like studying in a Gothic cathedral

At Stanford, the libraries are more Romanesque

Temples of learning. That's traditional. But...

As MR's post illustrates, UC San Diego's library is an alien extraterrestrial mushroom of learning

It's hard to believe that UCSD's library is 50 years old. It still looks totally futuristic.
