Here are some shots of the first floor. There are still a few details to be resolved, so it is not quite ready. We hope to have this open to students within the next few weeks to a month. (Keep your fingers crossed.) The first floor will temporarily house some of our services until the second floor is complete.

Here’s a view of the first floor from above.

This will be the temporary home for the periodical collection.

Here is a part of the temporary study space.

This is the back part of the library that used to house the AV items.

Phase 2 has officially started. The construction crew has started ripping up the North half of the second floor. The noise is a bit louder, but we are getting closer!

Just a little mess!

In the back of this photo you can see the temporary wall that has been constructed during this phase. During this phase, everything behind this wall is being gutted.

Here is the old wall/window that seperated the library’s teaching lab from the rest of the library.

You never know what you’ll see hanging around.

The carpet and paint are all in place on the first floor. We are getting ready to begin work on the North half of the second floor.

The carpet is looking good.

Packing up and moving the periodicals department .

They put some shelving back downstairs for periodicals.

There is still a bunch of work left to do, but the first of the carpet and paint have been put down this week. Some electrical work and duct work remains.

Here is one one of the carpet guys working on the carpet.

Here is his partner also working on the carpet.

The first roll unrolled.

The painters have given the walls and pillars a coat of paint.

Here is an accent wall.
