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.
