Kahn used Exeter brick on the exterior of the nine story building, a material made in Exeter itself and a design factor that was important to the Academy. He also used stone and slate in the interior, and �nished certain aspects of the library in natural wood. �e wood contrasted the stone by giving the spaces a sense of warmth and a glow that welcomed readers when the natural light �ooded upon this natural material.
