Harrison Refurbishment Updates: Closure of ground and third floor

We are excited to announce that work has begun to refurbish and improve our library facilities. This renovation will bring enhanced study spaces for the upcoming academic year. However, please note the following temporary changes to our services: 

Ground Floor and 3rd Floor Closure 

The library's ground floor and 3rd floor are now unavailable due to ongoing refurbishment work. These areas will reopen with improved study spaces by mid-September, just in time for the new academic year. 

Library Services During Renovation 

During this period, library support services, including a temporary helpdesk, Skills for Learning drop-ins and laptop loans, will be available from the 1st floor. Please follow the signs carefully to navigate the building, locate the services you need, and ask a staff member for any help during your visit. 

Central Staircase Closure 

Please be aware that the central staircase will be closed for approximately two weeks, starting Monday, 22nd July. During this time, access to the 1st and 2nd floors will be via the central lift only. If you are unable to use the lift, please do not hesitate to speak with a member of our library team.  

Accessible Toilets will remain available on the ground, 1st and 2nd floors of the library, in addition to toilets located within the Students Union, opposite the library entrance  

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve your library experience. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask a member of our staff. Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to unveiling our improved facilities to you in September! 

Sincerely,  

Your University Library Team
