UCBA College Library Renovation Update and Layout

Heather Maloney — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 16:30:53 +0000

The UCBA Library renovation is entering the final month of construction. Our friends at Library Design Associates have begun to carefully move the library collection into the new space, and by the end of this month, the new furniture will arrive and be installed.

As the project remains on schedule, we will have reduced hours the week of July 1st so we can move into our new space. Please look for another LiBLOG post in the coming weeks with more details on our move dates and our re-opening date. In the meantime, here’s an overview layout to help orient you to the new space.

We look forward to introducing everyone to the exciting new UC Blue Ash College Library!
