The new Health Sciences Library at the State University of New York at Buffalo is a harmonious and functional blend of the old and the new. The old is a renovated Georgian style building with formal rooms containing fireplaces, carved woodwork and English oak paneling. The new is a contemporary four-story addition. Through the arrangement of space and the interior design, the new library offers users easy access to services and resources; accommodates the heavy daily flow of users and library materials; provides an environment of comfort, quiet, and safety; and promotes efficient communication among all segments of the library staff. This was accomplished through sound architectural design which included close consultation with the library director and staff during the planning process. The new library is equipped to face the challenge of meeting the needs of biomedical education, research, and clinical programs of the institution and its constituents in the years to come.
纽约州立大学布法罗分校新建的健康科学图书馆是新旧元素和谐融合且功能完备的建筑。旧建筑是一座经过翻新的乔治亚风格建筑，其正式的房间里设有壁炉、木雕工艺和英式橡木镶板。新建筑是一座当代风格的四层附加建筑。通过空间布局和室内设计，新图书馆为用户提供了便捷的服务和资源获取途径；能够容纳每日大量的用户和图书馆资料；营造了一个舒适、安静且安全的环境；并促进了图书馆全体工作人员之间的高效沟通。这一切是通过合理的建筑设计实现的，其中包括在规划过程中与图书馆馆长及工作人员密切协商。新图书馆有能力应对未来数年满足该机构及其成员的生物医学教育、研究和临床项目需求的挑战。
