The new library at Dalarna University, Dalarna Media Library, is now officially open to the public. The building that reinterprets the library in a multifunctional design is laid out as an approximately 3.000 m2 ’spiral of knowledge’ that naturally integrates into the surrounding landscape at the Dalarna University Campus in Falun, Sweden.
