New British Library for Political and Economic Science opens

The library of the London School of Economics (LSE) is one of the largest social sciences libraries in the world and it has just been \”redeveloped\”, with improved environmental standards for the books, more floor area, 500 extra student workplaces and a pair of glass lifts (or elevators for the US readers!). Read all about it in this story.
It all sounds lovely but I can\’t help wondering how long it will be until the library staff discover that the lightbulbs are too high to replace, or the fancy central atrium means the whole building is too noisy. I know, I\’m just a library renovation cynic.
