The new library extension connects the existing university library, Tin Ka Ping Building and the new school building across Library Boulevard. The extension functions as a connector to de-emphasise the old boundaries between the library and other facilities. A diverse range of learning spaces is organised around the atrium, with discussion rooms scattered around the university library. Open spaces are provided near the discussion rooms.
The extension also serves as a plaza, a welcoming space for learning and gathering. As the new library extension integrates seamlessly with various work, leisure and social activities, students can utilise the library and other resources in a more convenient and casual manner.
