Construction in the Main Library
As students return to the Main Library, they will notice some construction and re-organization projects.
The Information Arcade® is being renovated and expanded. A new “smart” classroom is being added. This classroom will be equipped with 24 student computer stations and one instructor station. Construction of this project will be ongoing throughout the semester with a projected availability for the spring 2007 semester.
The Information Technology Center (ITC) in the main corridor of the second floor is moving to the south end of the eastside second floor reading room. This move will allow the ITC to expand beyond its current space limitations. This move also is expected to be completed by the spring 2007 semester.
A new ADA-compliant restroom is being constructed on the first floor, north of the Information Desk. This addition will provide easy access to restroom facilities on the first floor in the main corridor. The expected completion date for this project is also in the spring 2007 semester.
While we understand that the work to accomplish these changes can be distracting, we are doing everything we can to minimize interruptions during busy times of the day. Once completed, these renovated facilities will provide library users with more access to computers in a more comfortable environment.
If you have questions or comments, please contact Nan Seamans, Associate University Librarian, 319-335-5867. We look forward to better serving the UI community with these new facilities.
