Welcome to 2 West!

We hope you will enjoy using the newly renovated 2 West. Over the next couple of weeks, we may close 2 West for a short period to install the remaining pieces of furniture. Until then, please use the space and tell us what you like or do not like by submitting your feedback.

• Beginning May 4th, the LWC and MM Studio will be closed due to construction on 2West.

  Some components of the Multimedia Studio will be relocated to the Library East Commons. The walk-up and consultation machines will remain available in the LWC, but there will be noise and dust. Homer Rice and Neeley will remain open during construction.

  The LWC and MM Studio are expected to reopen in late June. The construction on 2 West is expected to last until the middle of Fall semester.

The library is planning a renovation of the group study area, 2 West. We are seeking student input on this upcoming project.
