Kopenhagen, Royal Library – University Library 95
20. New building and extension: Note: In 1997 the first part of the
building was finished, and used for closed stacks and rooms for the
staff. The second part is now under construction. In the following,
the whole building will be described.
b) Aims of the new building
21. The new faculty library will have a considerable extension of reader
seats, and better conditions for the staff. The opening hours will be
extended, and there will be unlimited access to the Internet. The open
stacks will be diminished, and mostly used for handbooks. The closed
stacks will be extended with 30 000 linear metres, who will have extraordinary
good climatic conditions for old books and photos
(12 o /2 o Celsius)
c) Special Features
22. Location on campus, close to public transportation
23. The library has a rectangular plan, glass facades in public areas and
staff-areas, but no windows in areas for closed stacks. Good access
for disabled, much concern about acoustics. Much concern about
diminishing heating expenditures. Very good air filters in connection
with the closed stacks.
