Ellis Library Study Rooms Under Renovation This Summer

The Libraries will be updating the individual study rooms on the second and third floors this summer to make them more comfortable and useful to students. The renovation project begins Monday, May 22, with asbestos abatement and the removal of the shelves in the rooms. After that, the study rooms will be painted and carpeted. Lastly, we will replace the old desks with new, adjustable tables. The entire project should be finished by the end of July. Thank you for your patience while we make these renovations.

We’ve been working all year to prepare for our library renovation and the time has come for us to close.

Starting May 20th, the Health Sciences Library will close.

While the physical building will be closed, we are still here for you. Although our services and employees will be operating in a virtual environment during the renovation, we are only a click away.
