Construction started in June 1999 on The James Ussher Library
at Trinity. It links physically with two pre-existing major Library buildings
and provides 750 additional reader spaces, all fully wired for information
and communications technology. There is room for an additional
360,000 printed volumes of monographs and research journals. The
new building is 9,586 m2
and will also houses The Glucksman Conservation Department and Map Library. Following the completion
of the construction of the new building, a further 2,033 m2 of existing
space was refurbished in the adjacent Berkeley and Lecky libraries.
The new complex was brought into full use during 2002.
