Start of Renovation Project, continuation of HPU

The renovation of the 28-year-old Library building will be undertaken in an integral, phased approach to, on the one hand, its structural redevelopment (based on the scenario from the HPU project) and, on the other hand, culling the journal collection to make room for the journals from the Mathematics and Science Library, as described in the project Library 2020 (2013–2016).

The final product of this project was a Renovation Master Plan, a long-range plan spanning a period of about 8-10 years, during which normal service will continue as much as possible.

The Renovation Master Plan details whether each phase of the project relates to structural work or rehousing the collection, and how this will be given shape. This must take into account that the collections must be culled in a logical and realistic order. Rooms will be used during the renovation and rehousing work that have become temporarily empty due to the cull of the collection.
