March 2007 – Design Brief
The Library is writing the design brief for the new interim HSS Library. The purpose of the design brief is to provide a broad concept plan and guide for the architect and interior designer. The concept plan describes the main zones in the HSS Library and specifies the activities, equipment and furniture within each zone.
January 2007 – Planning of new interim HSS Library
Due to the rapid growth of the Chinese and English language humanities and social sciences collections in the existing HSS Library at S3.2-B5, shelving space has reached its maximum capacity. Thus, the Library is working closely with the Office of Facilities Planning and Management on the setting up of additional Library space.
The plan is for the Chinese collection to remain at the current location at S3.2-B5 while the English, humanities and social sciences collections moves to a new proposed location at Exam Hall C, S4-B3c.
