New library, old space – A visit to the new Naylor Library, St Mary’s University, Twickenham [Event Ref. No.TGx/NAY]

Find out how a 1980s call centre became a modern, educational hub at St Mary’s University, Twickenham.

cpd25 would like to invite you to visit the Naylor Library at St Mary’s University, Twickenham. This is a new library facility, created from an uninspiring 1980s office building and call centre. It opened in September 2015 and houses the University’s education book stock, as well as being home to a brand new artefact collection allowing St Mary’s students to borrow toys, games, musical instruments and artefacts for use on their school placements.

The two hour visit will include a talk about how the Library went from idea to completion within two years, and guided tour of the building’s features and flexible study spaces. This will include demonstrations of state-of-the-art touch screens in group study rooms, green screen room and Mac suite. Refreshments will also be provided.
