Located on the Drillfield at Virginia Tech sits a spiral structure built out of wood. It is a space to accomodate three people to listen to select John Cage compositions, serving as a room for contemplation. The reading room is dedicated to the presentation of ten Cage books. Natural lighting seeps through small openings allowing light in but not sight.
