Construction disturbances
Roof renovations
During the spring semester 2026, the Humanities Library is undergoing roof renovations. This will cause various kinds of disturbances and some rooms in the building are closed. If you are bothered by the noise, you are welcome to visit the Biomedical Library or the Educational Library, which are also open this summer.
