We’re excited to share a redevelopment at the Templeman Library in D1 on the south side.
Over the summer, we redesigned the area into an inviting space to study and to engage with our library collections. You will find a 360-degree view of this space on our University of Kent campus map!
This area has always been a popular study space, despite being a bit dated.
We asked students earlier this year what kinds of furniture and materials they would like to see in the space and incorporated this feedback to offer a range of seating and desk options, including study pods, group tables and comfy armchairs.
Alongside a range of diverse seating options, we will have changing displays of books, journal and magazines for you to browse and borrow.
These will support specfic subjects, modules and skills development. In all displays, we link to connected digital resources using QR codes for quick discovery.
We also welcome the opportunity for students to be co-creators in this space so if you would like to suggest theme or curate a display, then do let us know at academiclibrary@kent.ac.uk.
This redevelopment is part of a wider project to create engaging and inclusive spaces in the Templeman Library and we welcome your comments and feedback to this and future renovations.
