Innovative library of Ukrainian Catholic University becomes Lviv’s new hotspot

The five-story building includes a multifunctional library, offices, exhibition centers, and conference halls. Its creators hope it will become a world level education area, providing new opportunities for the students, teachers, and guests of the university. At the same time, the center will remain open to the public. The center's construction was started in 2015. Its project was developed by a German company Behnisch Architekten. According to the media Tvoe Misto, the budget of the project is estimated at UAH 150 mn ($ 5,7 mn).
