Work in progress...

..a photographic record of the first stage of our library level 5 refurbishment project.









Over 6 busy days from Saturday 11 June, Universal Removals have packed stock from the library shelves into crates, dismantling the shelving as they go.


















Removing the shelving helped free up floor space to manoeuvre crates into place and take away the dismanted furniture.

















The corridor towards the rear of the floor area, where the Audio-visual collection was housed, was heavily used as a route for the removal team to take crates in and out towards the lift. Library staff meanwhile had the opportunity for some extra fitness training, to coincide with Staff well-being day, as the lift was commandeered for removals.











Over 3300 crates were required to pack the books and other materials from level 5 to take them to their temporary storage location in Greenford. This mean more than 15 round trips to and from the University with around 200 crates filling the lorry.











And in less than 6 weeks time, we'll see these crates return to Northampton Square - with smart new shelving waiting for the contents!
