For many former students and Durham residents, their memories of the University Library are inextricably linked to Palace Green Library.

Before the late 1970s when the ‘Main’ Library was opened, it was the focus of much undergraduate and postgraduate study and library usage.

With the planned relocation of the law and music collections to the Main Library in 2013, the opportunity now exists to look holistically at the building and to determine how best to protect its past, adapt it for present and future use, while ensuring its centrality as a research hub and exhibition centre, not only for the University, but the wider community.

The first phase of redevelopment is already underway with the transformation of the upstairs Exhibition Hall into a modern multifunction space.
