The Library Gardens, designed by landscape architect Irena Bajerska, are composed of two parts: the Lower Garden (15,000 m2), next to the BUW building, opened in April 2000 and the Upper Garden (2000 m2), which is on the roof of BUW, opened in June two years later.
The garden on the roof of the University of Warsaw Library is one of the largest and most beautiful roof gardens in Europe. It is a very popular resting place for students, residents of Warsaw, and tourists. From the roof, visitors can admire the city skyline and views of the Vistula River, and an abundance of plants planted by 4 dominant colour: gold, silver, pink and blue.
