The east doors into the Croslin Room reopened during the first week of classes. Most of the furniture should be in place by now. Coffee and a variety of food items are available for purchase. We ask that patrons not bring food or drinks in throw-away cups into the rest of the Library. If you have not yet visited the Library's renovated Reference area, I think you'll be quite pleased.
Current construction is on the second and third floors.
The second floor is nearly complete, and construction on the third floor is to be done in late November. Furniture is to arrive in December, and both floors should be open to the public after the first of the year. To remind you, second floor will house Reserve, another instruction room, and two large group study rooms. Third floor will remain the home for the Archive of Turkish Narrative, the Institute for Studies in Pragmaticism, and the Texas Commission for the Blind. The Office of Library Administration will move to the third floor from its main floor location.
