Preparing for refurbishment and landscaping

Revised silver & gold refurbished Library front

Revised impression of the refurbished University Library. The new entrance and café looks out onto pleasant landscaping.  Silver-grey cladding, with regency-gold coloured highlights, increases energy efficiency, weather proofing, and reduces solar glare to the front study spaces

In advance of the latest stage of the Library Refurbishment project later this summer, you may notice some small-scale preparatory work.

  • This week we tested the best method for replacing old windows in a small area of the 2nd Floor.
  • During the week beginning Monday 20 June,  external grounds works will remove trees and hedges in advance of construction. The area around the University Library will be re-landscaped once the project is nearing completion. Take a look at the latest architect’s drawing of how it will look then!
