Library service interruptions

Internal Library works: June to end of August

Overview

Refurbishment works will take place in Frenchay Library to create more places to study and more accessible spaces. Our silent floor, Level 5, will be open as usual and will not be affected by the works, so there will always be a space for students to study.

Level 2: June to August

The current staff office will be removed to create accessible study spaces. Our friendly staff will still be here to help. It will be possible to borrow and return books using self-issue. Please follow the instructions on the machine on Level 2 or visit the help desk for support.

Level 3: September to October

More study spaces will be created on our quiet study floor.

Level 4: June to August

Shelving will be removed from the centre of our group study floor. A social seating area will be created, repurposing furniture from other areas.

Level 5

Our silent study floor will be available to use throughout the works.

Access and fire evacuation routes

While there are construction works going on, there will be some changes to access and fire evacuation routes in the Library. They will be clearly signposted. In the event of an evacuation please follow signage.

We expect the lift to remain in service throughout.
