Renovation IISH Building

The IISH building is undergoing a major renovation in 2012. The renovation affects the exterior and interior of the building and may cause a variety of unpleasant effects (noise, smells, dust). We strive to limit the inconvenience for our visitors, but this will not always be possible.

Expected Nuisance in the Reading Room

Visitors of the reading room may expect noise nuisance due to construction work.
The work may also affect public services: possible longer waiting times for delivering documents and some reproduction orders may temporarily not be dealt with.
We try to limit the inconvenience for our visitors as much as possible.
