Viewed from the outside, it could be any old warehouse in the country.
Inside, though, it has the equivalent of 153 miles of storage space to store more than eight million books which form the bulk of the stock of arguably the country's most famous library.
Welcome to the new home for books owned by Oxford University's Bodleian Library, which has found that its historic entitlement to a copy of every volume published in the UK had led to it running out of storage space.
I hope they have little scooters to drive around in or something! It's a warehouse, it's not like they have to worry about ruining the carpet!
