Text description provided by the architects. Due to the Chilean earthquake on May 27, 2010, many academic and support buildings on Talca University’s main campus suffered considerable damage. Several needed complete restoration, many complete rebuilding. This situation quickly became an opportunity not only to rebuild but also to develop a new Central Library for the University. The new library would become a contemporary building, both a manifestation of the University’s commitment to energy efficiency and a fundamental symbol of the University’s vocation of educating its students.
