Reconstruction of Graz University Library begins
Graz-based architects Atelier Thomas Pucher ZT GmbH created the clearly structured architectural design of the new University Library. Resembling a glass cuboid, two additional floors hover above the historic reading hall.
Some 330,000 books of the Main Library of Karl-Franzens University Graz are currently on the move. Stacked in boxes they are leaving their former home to be of service at other places before the general reconstruction starts in mid-August. The Library will be given a new look and will offer a Service Center for students, around 200 additional study desks, plus a new lecture hall for 400+ people in future. As from 16 August, it will not be possible to borrow any media from the main library for one month. But don’t worry: It will generally be possible to borrow books as usual over the next three years; and faculty and department libraries are not affected by the conversion at all. Academic staff, scientists, researchers and students of the Natural Sciences Faculty of Graz who use not only the library of TU Graz but also that of Graz University are advised to see the website for more information.
