The University of Leeds newly refurbished Health Sciences Library reimagines how students engage with academic spaces. Designed with wellbeing, inclusivity and adaptability at its heart, the revitalised library environment provides a setting that supports modern, student-led learning approaches. Located within the Worsley Building, the refurbishment includes the reading room, mezzanine and IT suite. Prioritising user experience, the design draws on biophilic principles to promote wellness, incorporating generous natural light, a deep, earthy colour palette, sustainable finishes and abundant planting throughout. These elements combine to reduce stress, increase comfort, and foster a positive emotional connection to the space.
