More space for group work in the University Library

Now, the large room in the centre of the ground floor, where the University Library’s textbook collection used to be housed, is truly almost unrecognisable. Thanks to a great deal of dedicated support from the university, particularly from colleagues in Department 4 (Facility Management), the refurbishment was able to begin in the summer of 2026 and was completed within three months.

In addition to the existing 10 workstations along the side wall, there are now 6 new large work tables with power sockets and lighting, several small roll-away tables that can be brought in as required or used separately, as well as various armchairs and sofas.

The workstations can be used throughout opening hours without a booking, similar to the ‘Map Room’ on the 2nd floor.

By the way: the current black and blue chairs – taken over from another university building – are being refurbished and their colour scheme adapted to match the University Library’s décor.

We’re keen to see how this new facility is used, so…
do come in and take a seat!
