An artist's impression of the refurbished Massey University library in Palmerston North. Changes to teaching and learning, along with assessment changes as a result of Covid-19, influenced the design to ensure it supports blended learning as well as ensuring library staff provide in-person and online services. The design process involved consultation with a range of library users, including students and staff, as well as mana whenua and the deputy vice-chancellor Māori Meihana Durie. A student survey and a project student group highlighted the need for better study and group meeting spaces. A staff survey showed staff used the library less frequently, but were more likely to read and borrow books.
