This is intended to act a summary page for all of the various developments taking place and planned for Queen's.
International and Postgraduate Student Centre
Approved and under construction
Refurbishment of Lynn Building including reorganising entrance with reduced ground floor level, new ramp to south elevation and new void to first floor.
Work is due to start on the refurbishment of the Lynn Library to create a new International and Postgraduate Student Centre offering teaching, quiet study, group study and social spaces. The project is part of the University’s Capital Development Plan for the next ten years which will see £350 million invested in a number of transformational projects which will underpin our drive to attract global talent to Queen’s and to Belfast.
The works commence today, Tuesday 18 March 2014, with the erection of hoarding around the building. Works which will be completed by Easter 2015.
