Curated by qualified librarians, our collection of structural engineering literature spans more than 250 years; making it one of the UK's most comprehensive specialist engineering resources.

Special arrangements in light of the COVID-19 pandemic:

  • The Library is closed and staff are working from home. We will do our best to support you by e-mail.
  • Postal and walk-in loan services are suspended. We will direct you to an alternative e-book or electronic resource where possible.
  • Please do not return books until we are back in the office. We will keep renewing your books until HQ reopens. We will not charge fines.
