The Raugust Library, designed by a Minneapolis firm, is one of North Dakota’s more contextual modernist buildings. Thematically, the steeply sloped south roofline corresponds to the sloped roofs of the older buildings, while the north roofline corresponds to the flat roofs of the newer buildings. The scale of the building is sympathetic with landscape plantings of the historic campus. It was also innovative for its time in its planning for library and bibliographic instruction.
