MAIN LIBRARY CLOSURE: redecoration of the entrance stairwell, Saturday 20th August & Saturday 3rd September 2022

Our team information can be found at the following link Facilities & Project Team

We have received confirmation from UCL Campus Experience & Infrastructure (CE&I, part of UCL Estates) that contractors will be redecorating the Main Library entrance stairwell. In order to carry out these works safely, and to keep access to the Main Library during the works, a scaffold will be erected with a deck over the stairs. This desk will be sealed with plastic to ensure no debris or paint can fall on users or the stairs. Vacuums will be used while sanding down and making repairs to the walls. The lighting will also be clean, repaired and re-fixed.

To erect the scaffolding the Main Library will be closed on Saturday 20th August 2022 all day. The library will reopen as normal on Sunday 21st August at 11am. The works will take two weeks and a second closure on Saturday 3rd September 2022 will be require to remove the scaffolding. The library will reopen on Sunday 4th September at 11am.

These are essential works and help us strive to maintain the health & safety of all our students and staff.
