The library facilities are being refurbished in order to better suit our users’ needs and to better accommodate our growing collections. Here you will find information about current projects.
University Library renovation 2025-2027
The University Library will renovate its facilities during the period 2025 to 2027. The renovation will take place in three stages, which means that different parts of the library will be closed to visitors.
Stage 1 - The quiet study area and Learning Space UB
The quiet study area and Learning Space UB will be closed throughout the spring and summer of 2025. On floor 3, we will renovate the quiet study area and build new resource rooms. Learning Space UB on the 2nd floor underwent a major renovation a few years ago but will now get new ventilation, among other things.
Impact on the library's services:
The textbook collection has been temporarily relocated. You will find it directly to the right when you enter the Study Hall.
Stack 3 will be closed from 10 February. If you need something from this stack, the library staff will get it for you. Please go to the information desk, and we will help you.
During the construction period, some of the library's study spaces will be moved to the 2nd floor of the MIT building (entrance level).
The stacks at the University Library are being refurbished
As of 2022, a major refurbishment of the University Library's stacks is underway. The renovations will create more space for the library's growing collections.
In the spring of 2025, stack 6 will be converted into a closed stack for the library's archive and special collections. Be prepared for noise disturbances in different parts of the University Library during the refurbishment.
