The City Campus Library, opened in 1978, had received little investment in buildings or infrastructure, and the facilities available were increasingly unable to sustain the demands of a learner-focused library service. The university IT and Infrastructure programme identified the need to make the existing building fit for purpose by upgrading the power supply, ventilation, lift access and lighting to each of the 500 sq m floors. The library at City Campus has now gained overall 130 open access workspaces which allow integrated access to print and online resources alongside desktop software and courseware. Flexibility and choice for students has also been extended by providing 30 wireless laptops on a loan system for use anywhere within the City Campus building.
