_Update on the Library renovation_

The library layout is finalized after the second consultation in 
December 2025.

Works to remove asbestos are in the final phase, following a successful 
inspection visit by the authorities last week.

Removal of the demolition debris will start soon. Additional steps have 
been taken to contain the dust. Alternative shared work-spaces are 
available in the Galileo Guesthouse.

Procurement has issued tenders for the initial works (e.g. new floor, 
dividing walls, bookshelves) and evaluations of the offers are ongoing.

_Update on the renovation works at the Leonardo Building:_

We have begun planning and procurement for an additional renovation 
project concerning the offices in the corridor connecting the LB bar 
with the new entry of the library ('Math corridor'). This is ongoing and 
will require the offices to be vacated. There will be direct 
communication with the involved sections, offices and other stakeholders 
that will start soon. The intention is to start these renovation works 
of the offices at the end of the summer 2026.

Procurement received offers for the renovation of the sea-side windows 
and submission for clearance by the UNESCO Contract Committee is ongoing.

_Update on the renovation works at the Enrico Fermi Building:_

The installation of the new heating unit in the Enrico Fermi Building is 
ongoing.
