If one stays hermetically sealed within the science department, I can easily imagine never visiting the physical library building for research.
Most of the really useful tools are online, including journal indices, full-text databases &etc., and of course, the departmental library usually has any hardcopy references, including subscriptions to Cell or the Journal of Applied Research, et al.
So it might not be quite as terrible as it first appears...
(Not that I believe it, mind you, but it's possible)
