Yesterday, North Carolina State University opened it's new Snøhetta-designed library, a glassy behemoth that's larger than a football field and operated by an underground robot. Yes, Raleigh, N.C., has seen the future, and it's got a bionic librarian, the kind that can deliver any of the library's 1.5M books in five minutes. It may even be enough to reseat MVRDV's Book Mountain as world's most awesome library. [Architizer; previously]
