Reimagining a student library at University of Leeds
CLIENT: UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS | TYPE OF WORK: REFURBISHMENT | DATE: 2025 | SECTOR: EDUCATION
The University of Leeds’ Campus Reimagined project is taking a people-centric approach to their estate, looking at the campus as an experience, rather than just as a set of buildings.
Aiming to create a more inclusive environment and a campus where people simply want to be, part of the project was the refurbishment of the reading room in the Health Sciences Library. This space has previously been dark and noisy, with no natural light, and had been in need of a refurbishment for some time. Our team at I&G helped bring the university’s vision to life.
An inspiring space
Instead of a run-of-the-mill refurbishment, the university wanted to create a vibrant, inclusive space which champions wellbeing and encourages collaborative learning.
The 520sqm space, which includes a mezzanine area, provides space for students studying for exams or working on projects together.
“Fantastic work by the team at I&G. They were awarded the contract with a spatially coordinated design, they developed the design and delivered fantastic quality."
