The New Central Library is being developed in the East Zone (Humanities Zone) of the Ito Campus and will serve Kyushu University in the next hundred years based on four key concepts: encourage, link, create, and cultivate. With a floor area of approximately 20,000 m2, around 1,350 seats, and the capacity to hold about 3.5 million volumes (including approximately 1.5 million in an automated storage and retrieval system), it is set to be one of the country’s foremost university libraries.
