Construction is underway on the new James B. Hunt Library on NC State’s Centennial Campus (you know, the Dust Buster) and the video below gives a bit more of a profile from the point of view of a few State students. The new library is very exciting for NC State, not only for its cutting edge book retrieval technology but for the building itself, designed by Snøhetta and PBC+L (although we hear that the library is just bread and butter work in the Snøhetta office right now).
There are also two construction web cams on the Hunt Library’s website.

Just bread and butter work? Why must everything good at NC State be caveated with some sort of passive agressive jab?
calling the hunt library bread and butter for snohetta is not a passive agressive jab - its truthful about the fact that ncsu is getting a rehash, (oops, the archispeak phrase is ‘refinement’) of previous design ideas or aesthetics.
Heck, just look at the Bowling Green State University project currently under construction.
