A seamless fusion of tradition, technology, and terrain designed for a new generation of learners.
The Merrill-Cazier Library at Utah State University is a higher education academic facility that merges a 1994 Edward Larabee Barnes–designed library with a major new addition to create a cohesive, next-generation information center. EHDD’s expansion more than doubled the building’s size while integrating new program elements and advanced building systems with the existing architectural language.
The new design introduces flexible, technology-rich environments to support contemporary learning and research. Features include a 1.5-million-volume automated storage and retrieval system, self-checkout stations, multimedia group study rooms, and a raised access floor that streamlines building services. The open plan supports intuitive circulation across all levels, encouraging informal interaction and community among students and faculty.
A four-story atrium connects old and new spaces, featuring open stairways, vertical circulation, and cross-platform study areas that capture daylight and offer panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains. The main floor houses the information commons, instructional areas, reference and media collections, a café, and a small auditorium. Upper levels offer a variety of group study spaces, open collections, lounge seating, and private study tables.
EHDD’s design reimagines the library as a central academic and social hub. It anchors a new campus quadrangle and strengthens Utah State’s academic core—blending legacy architecture with the tools, spaces, and spirit of 21st-century scholarship.
