Renovations are underway in the main storage room of the
University Archives to help us to better preserve and provide access to our
collections. Special Collections materials are still accessible during the
renovations (we've moved hundreds of boxes upstairs, see photo 2) but there
will be retrieval delays for archival items still in the impacted space. Thank
you for your patience!

West zone will have a new furniture arrangement and acoustic screens
Central zone will have new custom-made study carrels with acoustic screens which will replace study tables.
Acoustic panels and a new electrical track system were installed during Reading Week.
New furniture is expected to arrive later in March so stay tuned for further updates.

In preparation for the arrival of new furniture in spring 2025 on the Library’s 5th floor, installation of electrical equipment and acoustic panels will occur over the winter Reading Week (Tuesday, February 18 – Friday, February 21).
The west and central silent study areas will be inaccessible during installation of electrical raceway equipment and acoustic panels (see floorplan.) A brief power shutdown can be anticipated (impacting the 4th and 5th floors). What’s to come? Comfortable semi-enclosed study pods and accessible study pods will be available for students in the 5th floor silent zone. Sound absorbing acoustic panels will reduce distractions and create an more conducive environment for focused work.
