FAQs About Our Move

When will the expanded/renovated library be open to the public?
The goal is to open at least part of the expanded/renovated building on September 22. Please note that date is subject to construction delays and other unforeseen factors.

How will hours and services be affected by the completion of the building expansion/renovation project?
Regular hours and services are expected to be maintained throughout the process. If that changes, every effort will be made to notify the campus before changes are made.

When will the books and periodicals be moved?
Books and periodicals will be moved from the current building to the expanded/renovated building between September 22 and the end of the term. During the move, books may be requested at the circulation desk, just as books in the ARC and off-campus storage are requested, until the moves are complete.

When will library employees be moved?
Library employees will be moving during August and September.

When will the library’s computers be moved to the new addition?
Computers will be installed in the expanded/renovated building as soon as possible after the supporting furniture is installed so that as many as possible are available on September 22. The computers in the classrooms on first floor will continue to be available to for use whenever the Library is open until they are no longer needed to maintain computer access.

Will remote access for the Library’s catalog and databases be available during the moves?
Remote access will be available until the server is moved to its new location. Every effort will be made to complete that move as early in fall term as possible.

When will the current library building be closed?
Parts of the current building will be closed to the public in December, but hours and services will be maintained with minor changes in service desk locations. All materials will remain available to patrons

Where will I enter the new building?
Existing entrances will continue to be used, but everyone will have to go to the second floor before entering the library service areas. The emergency doors currently used for access to first floor will be used as emergency exits only, but there will be two elevators and five staircases that can be used to reach first floor.

Will parking be affected by the opening of the new addition?
The number of spaces available will not change.

How will I know where service desks, books, computers, etc. are in the completed building?
Floor plans will be on the library’s web page. Copies will be available at both entrances. Tours will be offered regularly for several weeks after the expanded/renovated building opens. Library staff will be happy to give directions.
