Learning Commons

The Learning Commons is an ideal common space that brings together library, technology and other campus services to facilitate individual study, collaborative research and social interaction.

In designing the space, the Library takes reference from successful cases of other libraries and advice from library experts and architects. Facilities enhancing interactive learning such as a user education room and a cyber cafe, will be included. In creating the Learning Commons, more library offices and collections will be relocated in order to open up more space.

New services and facilities listed out in the following will be provided to our users in separated phases.
