The main goals were to create a new ''hybrid'' type advanced University Library - Health Information Center , where traditional, advanced and virtual services were provided.

The idea was to overcome existing stereotypes of a conservative library and to build an open, light and transparent library, to create the sense of freedom. The first impression after entering the building is the feeling of a public free space – open space without doors.

The library is known for its exceptional architecture – after the reconstruction, the old buildings and the new extensions of the library complex are combined in such a way as to harmonize different – historic and new – architectural expressions. The architect Saulius Juškys has been awarded the National Culture and Art Prize of Lithuania for achieving harmony between contemporary architecture and historical environment.
