Project Scope:

The South side of the 3rd Floor is designed to accommodate groups. Recognizing that students have different preferences and learning styles, the library must offer a space that accommodates a wide range of preferences and requirements. By embracing diversity in its design, the university library becomes a hub that caters to the unique needs of all students, fostering an inclusive and enriching academic environment.
