A changing space: a case study of the Research Hub at University of Leeds Library

Repurposing space in academic libraries is high on the agenda for institutions across the UK. Academic libraries strive to allocate, record and assess every square foot in order to optimise all useable library space, and to provide environments that enhance the student experience and further research excellence. The Research Hub at the University of Leeds is testament to evolving ideas about what library space should be, how it should serve users and how users interact and work in library space today.
