Art, Design and Media Library is currently undergoing renovation to expand its shelving capacity and relocate its Service Desk. Work is likely to complete by January 2012.

The new Service Desk will be located nearer to the library entrance. This strategic improvement would enable library staff to provide prompt response to guests and visitors who may be unfamiliar with the library and also easy access to users at times when the 3M gates beep.

Concurrently, new shelves would be installed at the main collection area to increase the shelving capacity of the library. A total of 35 double-sided bays would be added (indicated in red and purple in the layout plan), which means an increase by approximately 2,100 volumes.

The artist’s impression of the new Service Desk and layout plan of the new shelves installation are as follows:
