Over the summer, we will also be upgrading the audio-visual kit in the Student Study Pods on the ground and first floor of the Main Library. The refresh will increase the size of the screens as well as moving from analogue to digital, improving the screen image quality.
The Pods will also have Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) connectivity allowing users to wirelessly connect their laptops and smart devices to the screens to show content. The work will be completed before the start of Welcome week.
We have started on a programme to upgrade all PCs on floors 3 & 4 to new HP EliteOne 800 G2 Models. This work will continue over the summer. The PCs on the 3rd floor have already been replaced and we will now be concentrating on replacing PCs on the 4th floor.
We will also be upgrading a number of DiscoverEd search points on levels 2 to 6 and within the library café.
During summer 2016 358 additional study spaces will be created in the Main Library.
This blog will be updated weekly with information about what is happening in the building. We will let you know which areas of the Main Library will be unavailable or potentially noisy.
Check out the overview page to find out what will be happening and when.
