SECOND FLOOR RENOVATION

Renovation of the Library’s 2nd floor begins on August 19. The shelved items being removed are older journal volumes and issues, which are available electronically and through Inter-library loan. No textbooks or monographs are being removed from the Library for this renovation.

After this weekend, Phase 1 renovation work will occur mostly after 9:00 pm to keep noise and distraction at a minimum for Calder’s patrons. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

The renovation will open up the 2nd floor for more study and collaboration space, and will include 8 small group classrooms along the perimeter. Below are the phases for the renovation. Renovation updates will appear periodically at this site, including projected completion dates.

Phase 1 Remove journal volumes, shelves & carpet; install new flooring
Phase 2 Mechanical work and construction of 8 small group classrooms
Phase 3 Electrical & data work
Phase 4 Purchase and install new furniture
