The Library Resource Centre is a spacious, well-lit facility divided into several areas. The main reception has a pink façade and a low countertop for accessibility. Rows of bookshelves are arranged neatly throughout the space. Seating options include casual chairs and tables for reading or studying. Side rooms feature classroom-style layouts, and a Virtual Reality room is equipped for immersive experiences.

Clear signage is positioned to support navigation between sections. Visitors may be seen selecting books, reading, studying in groups, or using the Virtual Reality equipment. The layout encourages both independent learning and interactive activities in a quiet environment.
