UIT University Library: At the Heart of Knowledge and Community
Recognizing the importance of providing the university community with access to resources and documentation essential for teaching and research, ITU has established a central university library at the heart of its campus. Built over an area of more than five thousand square meters (5000 m²) across four levels, this structure also plays a significant social and cultural development role, impacting not only ITU but also the city. It serves as a place for work, study, research, meeting, cultural enrichment, and social interaction.
The ITU Library embraces a modern and innovative approach. As a smart building, it is equipped with advanced technology that facilitates access to and use of documentary resources. Smart cameras are installed at all doors and on the entrances of each floor.
