Phillips Exeter Academy Library and Dining Hall

Phillips Exeter Academy is a private highs school founded and ran in Exeter, New Hampshire. While Louis Kahn may not have designed and built the entire building, he certainly built the library and dining hall. Worked on from 1965 to 1972, it is truly beautiful. Rows and rows of books are on display with circular concrete outlines and wooden shelves. The dining hall part sits at the bottom with marble like floors to read and it. It is a modern looking library and one I would like to visit sometime.
