A remarkable feature of this development is the free access allowed from the library to the park. There is evidently no great fear here that books might disappear in this way. The building was erected as an endowment and contains the estate of the judge Edouard Fleuret, whose name it bears. The books are stacked on shelves that line the load-bearing internal walls and that are laid out along the length of the building. The reading places, the lending and information counter and a seminar room are all situated facing the park. From the rear space, a footbridge links the ­library with the faculty building for the liberal arts, which dates from the 1970s. This small, transparent library for doctoral studies is raised above the ground. In terms of its design, it forms a striking contrast to the more massive neighbouring structures.
