Library HVAC Upgrade

Library to close for Winter Break 2024-2025; Library Computer Lab to close for two years

The Library building has been designated to undergo an HVAC upgrade that is expected to begin next month, to continue for two years, and to affect all staff whose work areas are in the building (Library, ITRC, ITS, and Disabilities Services.)
