Facts about the Laidlaw Library
We officially opened the new Laidlaw Library with a special alumni event on Tuesday 7 July. We're sharing seven facts that may surprise you. The library would not have been built without the generosity of 2,300 alumni, who contributed to the £26m investment. Read more about all our Alumni and the Making a World of Difference campaign or you can find a list of donors here. It will be less quiet than you may imagine. As well as silent study areas, there are eight group study rooms and ten group study booths, and also space to work alongside a café on the ground floor. Our new library has two beehives, which can be found on a green roof halfway up the building.
