Major refurbishment for Library this summer
Wednesday, 15 May 2013
In response to our students' requests, the University has invested in a major new refurbishment programme for the Library.
Along with the additional library materials and longer opening hours already financed this year, we are spending over £2 million on the Library's 2nd and 5th Floors to provide state-of-the-art collaborative and quiet study space.
The 2nd floor will have 350 study spaces, a variety of collaborative study options including group study pods; diner-style seating; two-person and large table seating. Glass walls will divide off the book stock towards the back of the building with individual study seating for quiet study beside the windows and eco-friendly lighting throughout.
The 5th floor will include two silent study rooms and soft seating area.
Work will begin after the current exam period and is due to be completed in the autumn. Work on remaining floors is planned to take place in due course.
