British Libraries, Chandigarh & Bhopal

 

The British Library is not only one of the most user friendly libraries in India, but also a facilitator for students planning to study in the UK. These libraries situated in two of the most fast growing cities of northern India, had to reflect the mood of the new techno savvy generation.

SSAs job to create an environment that was not only conducive for serious reading but at the same time cater to the new outlook of these fast developing cities. A state of the art cyber centre & an on line access zone was introduced and was an instant hit with users of all age groups. What sets these libraries apart is that the character of their interiors—peaceful & soothing yet at the same time youthful, vibrant and energetic.
