The BULAC is a radically modern library which will be open to students and researchers, with seating for 360 persons in the research area, and more than 200,000 volumes freely available. The rooms can be booked for small groups as well as for individual use, and will be available for use by researchers 24 hours a day. The aim was to create a tool suited to the particular needs of people conducting research from France and other parts of the world, providing them with comprehensive documentation on languages and civilisations at a single location.
