The Wellington Campus library remodel is officially underway.
At the start of February contractors began the massive task of removing the library’s roof and demolishing part of the outdated building.
The new library, which will be built on the existing site, will be a state-of-the-art modern structure featuring a walkway that that will connect it to the adjacent buildings and a brand new student centre.
Education is the flagship programme offered at the campus and the library has been customized to facilitate the faculty’s learning and teaching programme.

On completion, the library will feature a model school library as well as interactive teaching spaces that will allow teaching practice to take place at the campus.
The new facilitaty will also be user friendly, with student pods situated throughout and shelves placed at strategic points to absorb noise.
A permanent home for the Disability Unit has been incorporated in the design as well as a lift and ramps to cater for students living with disabilities.
The new library is earmarked to open at the start of the 2016 academic year.
