McIntyre Library Construction Update

Bester Bros arrived yesterday (7/12) and completed the move of the stacks on the fourth flor into their final configuration. The stacks have yet to be cross-braced.

The collection is out of order at this time, awaiting shifting. There are signs explaining how things are currently set up. If you can't find a book that you need, please fill out a "Construction Zone Request Form" at the Circulation Desk.

Walls are going up and being drywalled in the new information literacy lab on the first floor and the Special Collections and Archives area on the fifth floor.

New furniture has arrived and has been installed in the second floor breezeway and in the southwest corner of the first floor.

Bester Brothers has returned to begin moving the shelving on the fourth floor into its new configuration. The process should take about two days, and be completed by the end of the day tomorrow.

Some of the collections on the west side of the fourth floor, more specifically some of the Hs on the existing single-sided shelving, have been moved to a temporary shelving location on the southwest side of the floor. Signs on the existing shelves will tell you where the collections have moved. If you have difficulty, pick up and fill out a "Construction Zone Request Form" at the Circulation Desk and we will locate the book for you and notify you that it is ready to be picked up. Retrieved materials will be located at the Circulation Desk.

The walls are down on the fifth floor quiet study and the group and faculty studies. Carpet patching on fifth will happen later this week. On to the fourth floor...

Demolition is now complete on the first floor. Workers will be working on the fifth floor today and the fourth floor later in the week.

Dell arrived this morning to begin the demolition of several areas in the library which will be renovated. Pictured is demolition of the Government publications office area.

Books and shelves have been shifted on both the 4th and 5th floors. If you are unable to find the title you are looking for, please fill out a "not in stacks" request at the Circulation Desk. We will locate the item and notify you when it is available for pick up.

Thanks for your patience.
