Library HVAC Upgrade

Library Computer Lab & Special Collections to closed thru August 2026

The Library building has been designated to undergo an HVAC upgrade over a two year period, and to affect all staff whose work areas are in the building (Library, ITRC, ITS, and Disabilities Services.)

For this project, the Library will observe its customary hours and Library services will continue throughout the project, except for times when the university is closed.

The Library will post status and updates on its website at www.isu.edu/library and will post periodic reminders on Idaho State Today and ROAR Weekly.
