In March 2002, the Ceramics Research Center opened in the Tempe Center just to the north of the Nelson Center. The center was designed by Gabor Lorant Architects, Inc. and includes 7,500 square feet (700 m2) with two galleries, open storage stacks and a research library.[1][2] Additional facilities at the library's two buildings include a lecture room, a print study room, and a "nymphaeum" (courtyard).[2]
