Renovations have begun on the lower level of the library and will progress floor by floor, concluding with the fifth floor in October 2025. These updates include new sinks, stalls, mirrors, and fresh paint in each restroom.
How This May Affect You
- As renovations move through the building, all restrooms on each floor will be temporarily unavailable.
- Restrooms on other floors will remain open—please use an alternative floor as needed.
- Construction noise is expected. If you need earplugs, visit the Information Services Desk for a complimentary pair.
