Bouillon Library at Central Washington University is a major campus building sited along the central university plaza. The interior spaces of the reinforced concrete, brick veneer building are arranged to provide a series of individual study carrels, each with a small window, along the north wall establishing a personal scale within the 72,000 SF facility. The library provided a centralized information system for users and was considered state of the art for its time. The renovation of the library was also completed by Bassetti Architects.
