Shantou University Library, designed by Ray Chen, winner of the “Design for Asia Award” handed out by Hong Kong Design Center, was inaugurated and put into service in 2009. It is allegedly “the most beautiful university library in Asia.” Built to resemble the form of a traditional “Chinese thread-bound book,” the library building successfully combines traditional culture with modern art. Covering a total area of 21,000 square meters, the library features 2,118 seats and 27 seminar rooms and also possesses an exhibition room, lecture hall, conference center and student lounge. It has a collection of 960,000 books.
