We are very pleased to announce that after 5 years’ worth of work, the new library at the University of Birmingham opened today. The concepts for the project were sketched out back in 2011. The opening is being marked with a special exhibition, open to the public, showcasing works from the University’s collections which have pushed the boundaries of Western knowledge over the last 500 years.

Featuring some 62 kilometres of shelving, including 12 kilometres of open access bookshelves, the library will provide a home for thousands of books and publications whilst delivering an inspirational learning spaces embracing new and emerging technologies.
