Library and information services were gradually introduced and extended in accordance with contemporary trends in the development of university libraries and the provision of access to information sources. In 2000 the faculty library was transformed and renamed to the Library and Information Centre (LIC).<\/p>\n<p>The increase in interest in using the services provided by the LIC soon necessitated its extension, as did its insufficient number of study spaces. The opportunity to make improvements arose during the first reconstruction of the Faculty of Civil Engineering between 2002 and 2003, when the study areas were expanded and modified. The LIC gained space previously used for storage by the Czech Technical University, and built the Blue Computer Room there. The original steel structure of the storage room and its glass floor were preserved during the conversion.<\/p>\n<p>The project \u201cCompletion and reconstruction of the premises of the Faculty of Civil Engineering on Veve\u0159\u00ed St. and \u017di\u017ekova St.\u201d, which was implemented from 2011-2013, saw the Faculty of Civil Engineering undergo final refurbishment to reach its current state. The LIC was extended to include new rooms in the right wing of Building A, the faculty\u2019s main building. These were fitted out with a new computer room, group study rooms and a repository for the storage of university theses. The university theses were again relocated in 2019 due to high humidity to the Multifunctional Center FAST of building C and the BUT Archive.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, two of the ground floor study rooms were modernised with the aid of a grant from the Operational Programme Research, Development and Education \u2013 Support for the development of the study environment in universities. The study rooms were equipped with new tables, chairs, bookshelves and floor coverings. The new study spaces are arranged so that they provide students with more privacy for self-study, as well as with the option of engaging in group work. The study spaces have electrical sockets so that students can plug in their own notebooks.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of 2021, in cooperation with the Student Chamber of the FAST Academic Senate, a relaxation room called &#8222;POKEC&#8220; was created at the KIC. It provides a space where students can relax, read, play board games, watch television, show presentations, and of course also study. Furthermore, an individual study room for 1-2 users was created. Both rooms were put into operation at the beginning of 2022.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, the LIC was merged with the Study Agenda to form the Study and Information Centre (SIO). The former LIC is now the FAST Library.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INFORMATION The LIBRARY provides library and information services primarily to the Faculty of Civil Engineering\u2019s students and employees, but also to other individuals with an interest in the library\u2019s collections, including students and staff from Brno University of Technology and &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/library.fce.vutbr.cz\/en\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-38","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.fce.vutbr.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/38"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.fce.vutbr.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.fce.vutbr.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/library.fce.vutbr.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/library.fce.vutbr.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38"}],"version-history":[{"count":81,"href":"https:\/\/library.fce.vutbr.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/38\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4103,"href":"https:\/\/library.fce.vutbr.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/38\/revisions\/4103"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.fce.vutbr.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
