Library Updates: Announcements and Service Advisories

Update: September 8, 2025

Ground Floor Construction


Many of us at the Berry Library remember when our previous location was closed and we needed temporary space while our new location was being built.  Departments across campus stepped up and helped us, so when Project BOLD was announced it was a no-brainer that we wanted to do the same for our campus colleagues.

We’ve worked with the Facilities Department to figure out the best way the library can help mitigate temporary space matters while the Meier Hall addition and Horace Mann renovation are underway with minimal disruption to library services and operations.

As a result, you will notice construction on the Ground Floor of the library.  Please note there is limited seating on the ground floor during this time.  We recommend utilizing study spaces located on the first, second and third floors of the library and in the Learning Commons.  Access to the Archives and student lockers, located on the Ground Floor, will remain open. 

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.
