Library Refurbishment, Phase 2 - Decorators are now in!

As you can see from the photographs, taken by our contractors Overbury, decorating has begun! To maintain the colour theme throughout the library, the 2nd and 3rd floors will also have feature walls in the now familiar orange, red and pink. 

Both floors will have new grey carpet which we hope will cope with the extensive footfall expected over the years.

To see the latest photographs of the study rooms on floor 2, the flexible teaching spaces and the roof plantroom ready for action, please view the Aston University Library Flickr account

Library Refurbishment, Phase 2 - New photos

Floor 2 - Raised floor installed

There was a flurry of excitement in the Library Office on Friday when it was announced that Ovebury had sent through a series of progress photos of the Library Refurbishment.  After days of drilling, loud bangs and some rather momentous crashes above our heads we finally got to see what they had been doing to the 2nd and 3rd floors.






Floor 3 - Stripping out the brickwork

The second floor brick walls are covered in plasterboard and the raised floor has been installed.  The third floor has been stripped down and the sofits sprayed.  Installation of materials is now beginning and some interesting shaped objects are riding up the external lift past the Library Office window - we think it is the new ducting for the ceiling!
