Moving of the Unithèque site entrance
As of July 28, the temporary entrance to the Unithèque site is located on the west side of the building (for people with reduced mobility as well).

The entire library, its services, and workspaces are located in the extension during the renovation of the original building. UNIL will periodically provide additional workspaces.
The entire Unithèque team is actively working to make this process as smooth as possible and to minimize disruptions for our valuable academic community. Do not hesitate to contact our teams for any questions or assistance: https://question.bcu-lausanne.ch/.
Started in 2020, the extension of the Unithèque continues and, like any construction site, causes noise. The intensity of these inconveniences varies according to the nature of the work in progress. The BCUL thanks the users for their understanding.
This page will indicate any change of schedules or services related to the works. The changes are also indicated by posters in the Unithèque.
Please note that on certain dates, the noise pollution might be significant! We apologize for the inconvenience.
The extension of the Unithèque will offer many advantages:
- more documents in open access
- more work places
- rooms adapted to groups
- renewed services
Designed by the architectural firm Fruehauf Henry & Viladoms, the new building will integrate naturally into its environment while respecting the original building.
