University Library Science Park
The University Library is no longer only a building full of books, but also a centre where people meet and exchange knowledge.- By Jiani + 5
- Wiktoria: “I will forever remember all the “all-nighters” that I’ve pulled in the Science Park Library. It’s my go-to during all the exam weeks.”
- Laura : “During the exam period, I always spend the entire days in the library; it's the ideal environment for studying with focus.”
- Jiani : “The library at Science Park has a stylish design, featuring large windows and good lighting. In my opinion, the 6th floor is the best area to study due to its topmost location, which offers an amazing view. The library has individual study spaces, a separate room for groups, and easy access to printing facilities. Additionally, there are food trucks located downstairs. It is an ideal place to study!”
