The interior of the Library is dominated by the atrium than spans the height of the building from the basement Journals Room through to the top - 8 storeys in all. Off this are the book stacks and the reading areas. The top floor reading areas overlook the College Park with the majority of the book stacks on the Arts Block side of the building. Glass-fronted balconies open on to the atrium from every level, permitting both light and air to circulate freely through the entire space.

The two lowest levels are the Journals Room and a Mezzanine Level which is for storage and accessed only by Librarians. The reading area of the Journals Room is double height and lit by circular roof lights which can be seen externally here.

Throughout the building, the walls are exposed concrete, however the areas immediately around the atrium from first floor level upwards are clad with a smooth finished timber giving a sheen to the atrium.
