3 Library Buildings
3.1 Humanities and Social Sciences Library
Plans for the construction of the new front entrance of the Library were widely
discussed and staff appreciated the opportunity to offer suggestions.
Construction began in late 1996 and is expected to be completed mid-1997.
3.2 Peninsula Campus Library
The plans for the new building were finalised towards the end of the year. The
contract has been awarded, and building should commence in January 1997 and be
completed by the end of the year.
3.3 Gippsland Campus Library
Most of the planning for the new Gippsland Library had been completed by the
beginning of 1996. In March, a decision was made by the University to construct
the building in two stages, with stage 1, to cost approximately $4.25 million,
going to tender in 1996. The tender for the project (a new two-level wing,
refurbishing of ground floor of the present library and construction of a glazed
link between the `Knuckle' and the student union) was awarded to a local
building firm in December. Construction will begin in January 1997.
