Construction

A quick note to let our library users know that construction will likely begin at the end of this week. The first step is fencing going up outside. Study carrels along the back wall on the first floor will be moved forward probably on Thursday, and on Friday, the construction of a temporary wall on the first floor should begin, to shield the interior space from the active construction on the other side. The library will provide ear plugs at the Circulation desk if you need to use them during study sessions.

We will be posting more construction details as we have them.

Library Construction for Spring Semester

Construction at Andruss Library in Spring Semester – Preparations

You’ll notice some changes at the Andruss Library during 2015.  As part of the BU campus construction plans, an addition to house University Police and a data center will be built at the side of the Library that faces the Recreation Center.  Note that the Andruss Library building will remain open during the construction; the Library’s resources and tools will remain available; and research assistance will continue. 

Campus and library staff will work to make this go smoothly for everyone, but we also know there will be disruptions along the way and want to keep you informed and let you know how to be in touch with us.        

Since construction is slated to begin next semester, some preparations will be made over Winter Session and at the start of the Spring Semester.  Study spaces on first and second floors will remain available, but there will be some shifting of the furniture.  Headphones are available at the Circulation Desk if any of the noise affects your study.  Some library staff and faculty offices will be in new temporary locations within the building.

The campus and library staff will work to make this transformation as comfortable as we can for everyone. Please let us know if there are problems during this time; you may contact me directly or let any staff member know your concerns.

 Check our website for information about the updates as they occur.

We wish you a good close to your semester, and we look forward to working with you in 2015.
