Health Sciences Library refurbishment
- Work begins: October 2024
- Work completed: Spring 2025
Brief:
The group work area of the Health Sciences Library within the Worsley Building has transformed into a vibrant space that further encourages collaborative learning.
Work took place to convert the current reading room, mezzanine and IT room into the new space.
Students were consulted on the work, with their ideas being used to create a space that meets the needs of those who use the space most often for study and work.
This work supports the Library’s strategic goals of both improving and increasing the accessibility of existing spaces.
