Where architecture meets daylight.

| OKALUX | Reference

The Central University Library at the University of Greifswald is organised around a four-storey glazed atrium that connects the House of Books with the House of Administration.

As the spatial centre of the building, it provides orientation, strengthens visual connections and creates a bright, welcoming environment for learning and research. The generous roof glazing is a key element of the architectural concept. It draws daylight deep into the building and gives the atrium its bright, open character. At the same time, the quality of this light is crucial: reading and study areas require an even distribution of daylight without glare or harsh contrasts.

This is achieved with OKALUX+ insulating glass. Its integrated capillary insert gently diffuses incoming daylight, creating soft, uniform illumination throughout the atrium while allowing daylight to penetrate deep into the building. The result is a calm and visually comfortable atmosphere that supports both the architectural concept and the everyday use of the library.
