The Polish and Classical Philology Faculty Library of Adam Mickiewicz University designed by APA Jacek Bulat is located in Poznan, Poland. The architects’ aim was to design of a functional and modern building, restrained in form and yet adjusted to the historical function and context. The have have concentrated on the future building users – the students – and the design was dictated by their taste and responded to their needs.

The new library building received a form that is a structure divided horizontally in half with a massive sandstone bottom and light glass top – to represent a merge of historical content with a very contemporary form. Building facades finishes are dominated by two materials – glass and sandstone. Used stone pattern is identical to the existing one at the facades of Collegium Mains facility.
