I am delighted to report that the UC Senior Management Team has decided to move forward with planning for redeveloping the Central LIbrary. This will take place in conjunction with a redevelopment of the undercroft although the undercroft will be a separate project. A working group will be formed to manage the planning side of the project and will involve Central Library staff, Facilities Management, ICTS, student representatives, academic staff representatives, and Teaching and Learning Committee representatives. The details of the planning process have not yet been determined but further updates will be provided as the way forward becomes clearer.

This is a very exciting development that the Library has been seeking for some years now and it is an opportunity for Canterbury to provide state-of-the-art learning and study spaces that will meet students needs now and well into the future.
