Description
The school's building committee was tasked with finding a new architect. Influential members of the committee became interested in Louis Kahn at an early stage, but they interviewed several other prominent architects as well, including Paul Rudolph, I. M. Pei, Philip Johnson and Edward Larrabee Barnes. Kahn's prospects received a boost when Jonas Salk, whose son had attended Exeter, called Armstrong and invited him to visit the Salk Institute in California, which Kahn had recently built to widespread acclaim. Kahn was awarded the commission for the library in November 1965.

Marcia, cool shot! He is my fourth cousin! Louis Kahn, that is. Did you see the "My Architect" Film? I have it on my bucket list to see his buildings in person!
Marcia Lee Jones replied:
A marvelous modern architectural design by your cousin. I took many pix but have only put a few on so far. I hope you get to see his accomplishment.
