Beginning the week of October 30, construction will begin on the upper floor of the MacRae Library. This will result in disruptions heard on the middle (main floor) of the library. For quiet study spaces, check out our recently refreshed lower level, with over 50 individual workspaces and group study rooms.
We can’t wait to serve you on our completely renovated third level, expected to reopen in April 2018. The new Student Learning Commons will be a space unlike any other on campus, combining academic library services and bookable student collaboration spaces in an open-concept design with lots of natural light, glass, and bright colours.
