Consulting Structural and Civil Engineers
Cambridge University Library
Client: University of Cambridge Architect: The Harry Faulkner Brown Howe Partnership
We have now worked on four projects to increase the library accommodation. Most of the structural work has been new-build, with some internal modifications of the existing building.
The new structures use substantial solid masonry without movement joints, to replicate the original building, used as load bearing elements where possible.
The internal structures are conventional reinforced concrete framed floors, with structural steel-framed pitched roofs.
