On April 13th, librarians, staff and members from other stakeholder groups had a tour of the construction site

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to invite you to tour our new Learning Commons this coming Friday, April 13th, at 4:00 p.m.  We will meet at the back of the building where the office of the University Librarian was located before renovation began. Celine Jury will be our guide.  Some parts of the building are now almost completely finished. Others are still under construction. Construction areas will be clearly marked. Celine will show us the spaces accessible to those without hard hats and construction boots.

The tour will take about 45 minutes. Afterwards, we invite all ‘tourists’ to join us in the Cleghorn Room for refreshments and brief reports on progress in construction (Celine Jury) and plans for the move back into the new building in July (Daniel Bromby).

For most of us, this will be the first visit to the building since we toured the gutted version of it about this time last year. I look forward to a sneak preview of the new space with you!

Geratek shared some photos of the site on Facebook, for those who couldn’t make it to the tour.

All the best as term winds to a close,

Jamie Crooks
Director, Learning Commons Project
