The majority of the library's nonfiction collection is on the four-level book spiral. Aisles with a gradual slope of about 2 degrees connect the flat tiers of book stacks, creating a continuous ramp winding through the floors. A staircase at the center can be used as a shortcut between spiral levels. Computers, reference desks and minimal seating are located on each level of the spiral. |

Dewey Decimal System
The stacks are organized using the Dewey Decimal System, which runs continuously from 000 on Level 6 to the 900s on Level 9. Floor mats in the aisles show numbers that correspond to neighboring stacks. |
