The Asian Library on the roof of the University Library is taking shape. The window frames have been 
placed and the concrete floor was put into place. In the coming weeks the windows will be placed to make the building water- and windproof.
The 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.
With a firm wallop on a Javanese gong University Librarian Kurt De Belder marked the start of the construction of the Asian Library on Monday June 20. Building will last until December 2016. The Asian Library will be officially opened in September 2017.
The construction of the Asian Library on top of the University Library has begun. To inform the public we have placed an Asian Library billboard on the roof. For our visitors, we have also created a special Asian Library information stand in the main hall of the library. Here you will find beautiful artist’s impressions of the Asian Library’s design, an iPad with all kinds of information on the library and the build, and a display case with a model of the Asian Library.
Yesterday the construction site has been set up and today the building of The Asian Library on top University Library started.
From Tuesday April 27th through Friday, April 29th gravel will be removed from the roof of the University Library via the right side (North) of the University Library (Witte Singel). This may cause some inconvenience.
