The TU Delft Library, constructed in 1997, was designed by Delft-based [[Mecanoo]] architecture bureau. It is located behind university [[atrium (architecture)|aula]]. The roof of the library is covered with grass, which serves as a natural insulation. The structure lifts from the ground on one side allowing to walk to the top of the building. The library is topped by the steel cone, giving its unique shape. All the walls are completely filled with glass. The library won the Dutch ''National Steel Prize'' in 1998 in the ''buildings of steel and hybrid constructions'' category. The library is also host of the 4TU.Centre for Research Data, the archive for research data in the technical sciences in the Netherlands.
