Visiting the new library

Visiting the new library and looking around the amenities that it has, was a mesmerizing experience.
Initially, we were introduced to the structure itself; the spacious elevated entrance giving an opportunity to admire nature, the left and right wing of the building entrance – symbolising an open arm, heat and sunscreen windows that are sensitive to weather changes and adjust accordingly, introduction of more colours to make the place brighter, and a cafĂ© to feature at the entrance, with open tables and chairs – a place to relax and rejuvenate.
New library seems to be a much more open, colourful and bright place. We were led to the 3rd and 4th floors which are mainly ‘Student Self-regulated Areas’. Each floor brings in different colours such as Red, Green and Purple making the library more dynamic, comfortable chairs, adjustable furniture, improved space provided for group discussions and studies, laptop charging points, separate study and research areas for post-graduates and high degree researchers.
