The document discusses the design of the new UCD Health Sciences Library. It focuses on creating a student-centered space that fosters learning and collaboration through student-friendly design. This includes providing a variety of individual and group study spaces, ample power and wireless access, and a shift from prioritizing book holdings to access in order to support changing pedagogical needs like active and collaborative learning. The library aims to be accessible, welcoming and relevant through its compact layout, ambient environment, and adaptable, high-quality spaces.
