News on the closure of our School of Management Library

8 May 2025

This morning, Deputy-Vice-Chancellor Professor Lynette Ryals OBE announced the decision to close the School of Management Library as part of the University Change Programme. The Library, currently based in the Faculty of Business and Management (Building 111, Cranfield campus) will be closing in the summer. The staff and resources will be moving to Kings Norton Library and the existing space will be redeveloped.

We hope to minimise the disruption to our services as much as possible. Once the Library has been relocated, FBAM staff and students will continue to receive the same level of customer support, librarian expertise and training sessions as before. They will still be able to access the book collection and online resources, including dedicated finance databases such as Bloomberg. 

From May onwards, induction sessions for new students will reference this change and emphasise the provision and support from both libraries. It would be much appreciated if FBAM staff would adopt a similar message to prevent confusion.

We will share more updates on this page as plans take shape.
