New library getting closer

I can't decide whether this looks more Gattaca or The Island; either way, it definitely looks spectacular. There will be lots of new learning spaces and more silent study areas. The bus stop at 0.32 seconds is where you can catch the bus for Putteridge Bury (where Applied Education Studies is taught). Luton's current LRC is considerably older than the library on Bedford Campus and needs to move to allow for the 60s block to be dismantled and replaced. The library's new site replaces the old HR building so it will still be an integral part of the campus. And the library management team will be looking at what works well in the building so we can bring the best ideas into refreshing Bedford's library. Like Bedford, the Luton building will be open 27/7/365.
