กก Construction of the new five-floor library was completed in 1991. The design project was a cooperative effort between the Research Institute of Architectural Designing and the Architectural School of Tsinghua University. Head designer was Guan Zhaoye, and engineering director was Ye Maoxi.

กก Rising through the center of the 20,000-plus square meter library is a four-story catalog hall. In addition to more than 20 rooms of books on a variety of specialties, there are smaller reading rooms, exhibition halls and lecture halls, and many comfortable lounge areas.

กก To retain the unique style of the original building, the new library was built with the same red bricks and blue tiles. But instead of duplicating the numerous arched windows in the old library, the new library has only a few arched gates outside the entrances.

กก The new library has won many top awards, including the First Prize at the National Architectural Design Competition in 1993.
