This is the latest in a series of regular updates planned for the\n2018-19 academic year which will keep you informed on progress of the McClay\nLibrary Phase 3 expansion project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project is progressing well and moving into several new areas of the\nLibrary. Further details are provided below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Student Lounge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Work in\nthis area will start on 24 June. A hoarding will be erected to shield students\nfrom ongoing work and the size of the space will be reduced as a result. Access\nto some of the vending machines and one of the water filters will be\nmaintained. However, there will be no toilet facilities in this area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Special\nCollections<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Work on the extension to the Special Collections store\nwill necessitate contractor access via staircase 1 and the Special Collections\nReading Room. As a result, Special Collections readers will be relocated to the\nSpecial Collections Seminar Room over the summer period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Language\nTeaching Room<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This room will be unavailable from 24 June \u2013 over the\nsummer it will be used by contractors as an access route to the student lounge\narea. However, the Language Resource Room at the bottom of the atrium will\nremain available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Replacement Book Return Sorter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The book return sorter is due to\nbe replaced this summer as the existing equipment is at end of life. The\ninstallation project will take place between 24 June and 6 July. During this\nperiod, only manual book returns via the Borrower Services desk on the ground\nfloor will be possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While we will do our utmost to minimise any disruption (and particularly\ndisruptive work will be completed out of hours or carried out as early in the\nmorning as possible), please note that this is a major building project so there\nmay be some background noise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any particular feedback or questions, please contact: library@qub.ac.uk<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is the latest in a series of regular updates planned for the 2018-19 academic year which will keep you informed on progress of the McClay Library Phase 3 expansion project.
