From Monday 2 June for approximately eight weeks, Levels 10 and 11 of the University Library will be closed to allow for Library Annexe Upgrade works to take place on Levels 10 and 11 of the Central Staircase.

A Click and Collect Service will be in place to allow access to books stored on those Levels while the floors are closed.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience as these essential works progress.

About the Library Annexe Upgrade Project 

In November 2024, work began on a £23 million investment project to upgrade the Annexe of the University Library.   

The Annexe exterior will be fully renewed, with roof coverings and wall cladding replaced with modern materials that increase energy efficiency and meet current technical standards. Annexe study spaces will also be improved, with more natural light, upgraded ventilation, better heating and cooling facilities, and more access to power.
