Relocation Details:

On December 16, 2023, the library closed its doors at Harden Hall, initiating the relocation process to Gries Hall. This move involves significant shifts in work spaces, study areas, and service locations:

The basement and first floors of Harden, containing the Archives, tutoring offices, Fieras, Broadcast & AV, Technology Support Services, etc. will remain open during the renovation. Facilities will contact the offices remaining in Harden with additional information. Facilities will also provide ongoing updates regarding changes due to construction.

Library services will be disrupted during the upcoming semester break so that we can move to Gries Hall.
