As a class assignment, students from the New Jersey Institute of Technology fleshed out various design ideas for the Clock site and Library. They approached the design issues in the context of the long-term and as part of the course curriculum read and discussed Stewart Brand's book 'The Clock of the Long Now.'
Glenn Goldman, Professor and Director of Imaging Laboratory, talks about the process of designing the long-term into the architecture with his students, "Hours were spent talking about the nature of long-term responsibility of society in general, and architects in particular...We spent time discussing what could or should be included in the library (and the nature of a library in a remote location.) There were also many technical/architecural issues for the students to deal with: access to a remote location, suitable construction materials for the project, service utilities ( or lack there of), building on steep slopes, and so on. In all, this was, I believe, a good educational experience for the students on many levels."
