Baubibliothek

The Baubibliothek (Construction Library) of ETH Zurich is a specialized information center that focuses on the disciplines of architecture, civil engineering and environmental sciences. It is located in the heart of the ETH campus on Stefano-Franscini-Platz and is open daily from Monday to Friday. The library offers an extensive collection of printed and electronic media, including specialist books, journals, databases and more. Users can borrow both physical and digital resources and have access to modern workstations with internet, printers and scanners.

A particular feature of the Baubibliothek is its dedicated support for students and researchers in the future-oriented disciplines. The staff offer individual consultation on topics such as literature research and research data management. In addition, workshops are regularly planned in order to train their guests in the latest methods of scientific work. Another focus lies on barrier-free accessibility. The library is designed so that it enables pleasant studying for all users, including people with disabilities.

In addition, there are special offerings, such as the lending of tools that are needed for study projects in the area of architecture and civil engineering. The available workstations can be used flexibly, so that both individual gatherings and group discussions are promoted. A visit to the Baubibliothek is possible not only for ETH students, but also for external interested parties and researchers who need access to the valuable information and resources. The Baubibliothek is thus both a place of learning and of creative work that provides important impulses for the design of our built environment.
