The Asian Library is taking shape

img_2028The construction of The Asian Library on the roof of the University Library is progressing steadily. The original row of merlons has been sawn off during the summer, the Asian Library’s roof is in place and the future conservatory for the Asian garden is taking shape. Right now, the frames that will hold the glass facades are being put in place.
