Summer 2013 Floor 3 Library Refurbishment
Floor 3 and an area of Floor 3 extension of the Library, which house Classics, English Literature, Film, French, German, History, Italian, Music, Philosophy, Religion and Theatre, will be refurbished during the forthcoming summer vacation.
The upgraded Floors will continue to provide a traditional library environment for individual study.
Some disruption will be inevitable while work is underway but steps will be taken to minimise the impact on users. The Library will remain open throughout the period of works.
Stock on Floor 3 stock will be temporarily relocated elsewhere within the building. All stock will continue to be available throughout the works. Most stock will be available on open access so that users will still be able to browse and select any items they wish to consult or borrow. Materials moved to the Library Store can be requested using the online request form; there will be regular collections during office hours Monday to Friday.
Work is scheduled to start in late June following the end of the summer examination period and the University’s Open Days. The programme schedule is tight and, whilst strategies will be in place to minimise any potential overrun, it may not be possible for all the work to be completed before the end of the summer vacation. If that proves to be the case we will work closely with the contractors to seek to minimise any disruption at the start of the new academic year.
Full details of the temporary stock locations and progress updates will be made available on the Library Web site. Alternatively, specific questions can be emailed directly to lib.communications@warwick.ac.uk .
I hope this covers any initial questions you may have but please do not hesitate to get in touch if you require further information at this stage.
