The Reading Room will be the latest phase of the Library Refurbishment Project to complete.\u00a0 This newly refurbished space has been furnished to promote an ethos of silent study, with magnificent views over the surrounding landscape. \u00a0It will open its doors to users at 8am on Friday 13th November. \u00a0The final phase, A Floor West, is due to complete during December 2015.<\/p>\n
After an extensive consultation period with our students and staff, the whole\u00a0Library has been designed to be a serious, academic study environment. \u00a0Most of the workspaces are for individual study, in a variety of formal and informal spaces. \u00a0Group work has been catered for by acoustically separate Group Work Spaces. \u00a0So far, we have opened 27 of these, with 5 more to follow.<\/p>\n
So far our users have been overwhelmingly positive about the refurbished building and we are happy to be experiencing record attendance levels. \u00a0 We\u00a0know that some of you have been experiencing disturbance from other users and are requesting\u00a0more “zoning” of the building. \u00a0We are actively reviewing how the space is working, and\u00a0once the whole building is available to our users early in the New Year, we will decide how best to make the space work for everybody. \u00a0Please continue to send us your observations and suggestions, so that we can build a complete picture of how well the building is working for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
