...and that's saying a LOT, because there is some AMAZING stuff in there. This is on the second floor, in the men's restroom.

Senate House and Institute of Education. 1932-1938. By Charles Holden, built with funding from the Rockefeller Foundation. Brick load-bearing construction with Portland stone facing. Symmetrical design, not completed, comprising central tower flanked by two courtyard ranges to either side. The southern, completed half, houses the ceremonial and administrative functions of the University of London. The northern half houses the Institute of Historical Research and School of Slavonic Studies in more functional surrounding: north-east wing not completed. The initial concept of a single, spinal building extending the length of Torrington Square was abandoned as building began, but survives in model form displayed on the first floor balcony of Senate House. EXTERIOR: central, higher fourth floor is the University library, with above it offices and bookstack housed in the formal 18-storey tower built in recessed stages with broad central buttresses on the east and west sides. 6 windows at 1st floor level. 4 and 5 storey wings with 10-window forward return and 14 windows width each. Under enriched, flat canopies, 2 square-headed entrances each side of the central buttress, all with 2-leaf glass doors with vertically patterned metal grills. Above the canopies small rectangular windows with patterned grills and keystones. Square-headed, recessed windows with metal frames, those at 1st floor level on the tower being elongated with enriched spandrel panels and flanked by medium sized windows at the angles, with balconies, culminating in lunettes at 6th floor level. From the 2nd floor to the 18th, small vertically set windows, in groups of 3 until the penultimate stage when they are continuous. Flanking wings with metal balconies to windows at angles. Flat roofs with plain bands at parapet levels. East facade similar. Inner courtyards similarly treated, with hopper heads dated 1936... HISTORICAL NOTE: built as a landmark, in 1937 this was the tallest building in London apart from St Paul's Cathedral. EH Listing

View of a range in the old Douglas Library stacks with the collection counted and flagged for the move to the new Stauffer Library building.
The vast expanses of blue tile at Pius are great by themselves.
But with big, old, monochromatic serials runs in front of them, they're even nicer.
Great Court: history and design
In the original Robert Smirke design the courtyard was meant to be a garden. However, in 1852–7 the Reading Room and a number of bookstacks were built in the courtyard to house the library department of the Museum and the space was lost.
In 1997, the Museum’s library department was relocated to the new British Library building in St Pancras and there was an opportunity to re-open the space to public.
An architectural competition was launched to re-design the courtyard space. There were over 130 entries and it was eventually won by Lord Foster.
The competition brief had three aims:
Revealing hidden spaces
Revising old spaces
Creating new spaces
The £100 million project was supported by grants of £30 million from the Millennium Commission and £15.75 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The Great Court was opened on 6 December 2000 by Her Majesty the Queen.

Today, the church, consecrated in 1294, could hardly be more popular. The beautifully restored building is an attraction in its own right, and yet the installation of a towering, three-storey black steel bookstack in the long, high nave, together with a fashionable if somewhat noisy cafe in the choir, works extraordinarily well. Church and bookshop look as if they might have been made for one another.
"Uh, Ted? Did you see the last name of the guy who wrote this?"
"Uh, Michael? Did you see who wrote THIS?"
...
"I need beer, Ted."
"Me too, Michael."
Most of these are to be reread or finished. From top to bottom..
Upstairs on the 4th floor is our book stacks that also hold complete runs of all the journals published by AIP and their 10 member societies. These date back as far as the 1890s and continue to be a much used portion of our collection.

British Library book store, Micawber Street, Hackney, London N1. There are three main floors for book storage with a mezzanine for offices.
This is the bookstacks stairwell in the Regenstein Library on the University of Chicago campus. This is a metaphor for that sinking feeling I get when I spend too much time in the library trying to write a paper without actually getting anywhere.
This splendid alteration to the old Drill Hall was made by John Rennie of Rennie Schurr Adenoff architects to house the Cape Town Central Library. A new free-standing book stack was introduced leaving the original curved steel roof to span across. Does anyone have photos of the way the Drill Hall was before?
ps The roof is curved ... and so is the issue desk itself ... but the curvature of the bookstacks is a fish-eye effect caused by the panorama-maker. This was 5 photos sewn together.
