unsw main library refurbishment level 2, 3 and tower
Our most current project at the UNSW Main Library is a $7 million dollar refurbishment of levels 3, 4 and the Tower. The refurbishment aims to implement the principles of the Masterplan we completed a few years ago by formalising the lower levels of the building for student study space and laying out the tower levels with stack complying with current codes. One of the overall objectives is to accommodate an additional 700 student study spaces. Our design approach to this project has been to treat the Library as a Community. Within this community there are a series of Precincts that relate to the core functions and facilities of each zone. Within the Precincts are a series of hubs supporting flexible learning centres. A variety of spaces are required allowing for: social/collaborative peer to peer settings; reflective settings and seminar feedback settings.
