Changes To Library Space
- Relocation of staff - the 1st floor of the Library building, which was previously occupied by the Faculty of Social Work, became vacant and was allocated to the Library. A number of staff in the Collections Team, and some librarians have been relocated to work out of this space.
- New study spaces – as a result of the relocation of staff, the 5th floor was redesigned to allow for increased study space, with additional group study rooms and a planned study room with 26 individual carrels. Offices previously occupied by librarians on the 7th floor are now available as group study rooms. The Library obtained the 4th floor when the School of Urban and Regional Planning relocated. This floor was renovated into an open work area for students with special rooms set aside for grad students.

Famous quotes containing the words library and/or space:
“That a famous library has been cursed by a woman is a matter of complete indifference to a famous library. Venerable and calm, with all its treasures safe locked within its breast, it sleeps complacently and will, so far as I am concerned, so sleep forever. Never will I wake these echoes, never will I ask for that hospitality again ...”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“Mere human beings can’t afford to be fanatical about anything.... Not even about justice or loyalty. The fanatic for justice ends by murdering a million helpless people to clear a space for his law-courts. If we are to survive on this planet, there must be compromises.”
—Storm Jameson (1891–1986)
