A bit of history...
Between 2000 and 2014, a series of one-off modernisation projects were carried out. Designed for a campus of 10,000 students, the library welcomed more than 20,000 students in 2015.
In 2016, renovation and refurbishment work began. The modernised library was transformed into a fully-fledged Learning Centre, offering a variety of workspaces and multimedia facilities.
