University of York Library: new building opening soon!

In Easter 2011 the Harry Fairhurst building will open, providing IT-rich study and research areas, linked directly to the JB Morrell Library. Students and researchers will have access to over 500 new spaces, including reading areas, group studies, open collaborative zones, specialist research areas, research hotels and a bookable PC classroom.

The IT Support Office, IT Training, VLE and Learning Enhancement Team and Academic Liaison Librarians will be based on the first floor of the building, offering easy access to IT, study and research support.

The building will have WiFi access throughout and also include new printing and photocopying facilities.
