The Rolex Learning Center at EPFL: a new building for a new vision in collection development
The new Rolex Learning Center at EPFL provides a new vision for collection development and library services. It includes 15,000 square meters of work spaces, group study rooms, cafes, and other amenities to serve as a hub for learning, research, and collaboration. The building reflects evolving teaching models, libraries, and acquisition models toward more digital resources and on-demand access. It aims to provide a seamless experience for patrons across physical and digital collections.
