Chair replacement project, Main Library

We are delighted to announce the replacement of 384 old, defunct, tired chairs, for new, modern, comfortable, cantilever chairs in the Main Library, across most areas of the first and second floors, this does not include the Donaldson, Jewish or Dutch reading rooms.

This will enhance the look of the library, while creating a modern environment with maximum comfort, which embraces the student experience.

The chairs will be the same model that we have recently installed in the Dutch reading room and lobby, and in the SSEES Library, which have been very popular, with both students and staff.

The install will take place over two days, on Monday the 25th July, starting on the second floor and then Thursday the 28th July, installing the first floor.

In order for the install to take place, safely, we will be closing the library on both days, and reopening at 14.00, opening hours will be as follows:

Sunday 24th July: 11.00-21.00

Monday 25th July: 14.00-00.00

Wednesday 27th July: 08.45-00.00

Thursday 28th July: 14.00-00.00
