Synopsis

Design a university library that combines efficient storage with bright, flexible spaces.

  • See how the stack system and cataloging work spaces fit with reading rooms and offices.
  • Understand criteria for light, climate, accessibility, and future growth.
  • Explore practical examples of shelving, transfers, and delivery workflows in design.
Ideal for readers of library architecture and those planning university library spaces.
