From Library Learning Centre to Open Spaces
The document summarizes the transformation of the TU Delft Library from a traditional library to an open and flexible Library Learning Centre. Key points include: - The library underwent renovations from 2007-2010 to create more study spaces, project rooms, and attract visitors for events and activities beyond just books. - The new library is designed to be flexible for events, individual studying, knowledge advising, and cutting-edge technology. It aims to be an attractive and inspiring place for students through amenities like coffee, workshops, and exhibitions. - The library also houses historic collections and aims to be a "living room" community space where students can relax as well as study.
