Library & Learning Commons

A library reframed for the next generation of students and researchers.

Work is underway to construct a new Library and Learning Commons for University of Galway. This will be an inspirational, welcoming, high-tech space of learning and creativity. Our new Learning Commons incorporates features such as individual and group study spaces, a student learning success centre and an automated book retrieval system (the “book bot”).

This sustainable and fully-accessible building will be an iconic new addition to our campus and to the skyline of Galway City. The Learning Commons will enable new generations of students to learn, share knowledge and succeed in their University experience and beyond.

Projects like these are made possible, in part, through the generous philanthropic support of alumni, individuals, companies, foundations and community partners. For more information about this development, please contact Nicola Rees on (0) 91 493536 or email nicola.rees@universityofgalway.ie.
