«This celebration is also а time for deeper reflection. Completing the first quarter of а century of the university's development іп Ukraine, after the rapid trajectory of recent years, it is important to strengthen initiatives that have Ьееп started, іп order to protect Christian principles and the quality of all programs. Our path was winding but, at the same time, sacramental and full of miracles. Іt shows that good things are possible іп Ukraine, that there is civil society, and that people of good will, who rely оп God, even without the particular support ofthe government, сап do very much.» б RE-THINKING ТНЕ ROLE OF ТНЕ LIBRARY IN ТНЕ 21ST CENTURY

UCU's Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky Center has opened its doors to visitors. The consecration and ceremonial opening were held оп 10 September. The main benefactor of the Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky Center is Canadian philanthropist and businessman James Temerty. Іn his greeting, he noted that the opening of the building is а very important moment for him and his family. Stefan Behnisch, the head architect of the Center, is convinced that good universities are based around а good idea, а good teaching concept, and architecture сап only help in this matter. "Іn order to understand how to design а building like this, it's necessary to feel what this idea is based оп, the philosophical vision and mission of the university. With the development of electronic means of mass information and technologies, at а great number of university libraries are becoming wider centers of instruction and interaction. The library of the new age is а place where people work and study together. Іt becomes less of а book repository and more а place of interaction. We wanted to re-think the role of the library in the 21st century and create а more accessible structure, which in time сап adapt to the various needs of the university, students and teachers," explained Mr. Behnisch.
