A new look for a new year is coming to the Jeremy Richard Library! Major renovations to the library’s first floor begin Monday, July 11th through mid-August. Renovations will touch all public areas of the library excluding the Library Services Desk. The first floor will be dramatically redesigned to accommodate a new Collaboration and Learning Commons that will include…

–      Additional power outlets

–      New furniture and collaboration space

–      An enclosed quiet study area on the first floor

–      Wall enclosure for the Source for Active Learning (Writing Center/Tutoring)

The library will remain open during the renovations and directional signage will be posted for library users. The library’s elevator and bathroom will not be accessible during this renovation period.  Library users will need to use the restrooms that are near the Fitness Center. We’ve moved several machines around to accommodate users during this project.

Remaining on the FIRST Floor will be:
– 4 computers
– Printer
– Photocopier
– BookScan Station
– Newspapers/Magazines
