Case story
After three and a half years, the new state of the art Alexis de Tocqueville library in Caen was inaugurated in early 2017. Designed by famous Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas from OMA, the building, shaped like a St Andrew’s cross, hosts over one million art works and is organised around four themed areas: Arts, literature, sciences & technologies and human sciences. With a total area of 11,700 sqm (including 5,800 sqm open to the public), this new flagship cultural centre hosts an auditorium for conferences, exhibition venues, reading rooms, a restaurant and a café, as well as administration and preservation areas.
