Library expansion coming soon
A new chapter in Library history is about to be written. In early spring 2024, the university will break ground on an annex to the 46-year-old building that will provide modernized multipurpose spaces for classes or meetings and potentially student support services. The 22,000-square-foot facility will be built adjacent to the Library, and is being funded by monies approved by the state legislature in fiscal years 2022 and 2023.
The second floor of the Library will also be renovated as part of the process. Existing rooms will be repurposed for the university archives, study rooms, and a digital commons lab. The work is scheduled to completed by the start of the fall 2025 semester.
