At the end of the semester, the library will close. It will reopen in Fall 2026 as a combined learning commons and makerspace. Additionally:
- Technology upgrades are planned, including improved computing resources to better support engineering software and coursework.
- Career Services staff will be embedded within the space, increasing access to professional development and employer engagement. Library staff will be relocated to Ellis Library and other libraries on campus.
- Decisions regarding physical collections are still under discussion.
- The makerspace component will include dedicated areas for digital fabrication, CNC manufacturing, electronics fabrication, capstone work and a central assembly area.
More information will be shared as the project progresses.
