Development of New Library Spaces
UCC Library is making use of the quieter summer months to develop exciting new spaces for our users. Beginning week June 27th for a period of 6 weeks, works will commence on the old section of the Boole Library Building on Q+1, Q+2 and Q+3. There’ll be some noise and disruption in the short-term, but it will be worth it once complete!
Q+1 Digital Scholarship Studio
Works will commence to create a dedicated technology-rich Digital Scholarship Studio, containing 18 high-specification computer workstations for students, staff and researchers engaging in scholarly activities using a variety of media formats. The Studio will also contain a collaborative meeting space and 3D printing and scanning facilities.
Q+2 Staff space
Works will commence on repurposing existing staff space. No publicly accessible study spaces will be affected in this.
Q+3 Additional Student Spaces
Works will commence to add an additional 37 quiet study spaces to Q+3, with power plugs at each desk.
While these works are being carried out, you may wish to use the New Reading Rooms on Q-1, Q+1, Q+2 and Q+3, the Quad Reading Room or the Creative Zone on Q floor for quieter study spaces. Access to the physical collections is unimpeded during the works.
The new spaces and services will be unveiled in time for semester 1 of the new academic year. Further updates will be provided as the works progress.
