With the completion of renovations to Bailey Library, the building's main entrance has now reopened. Renovations to the library, which began in May 2017, were completed at a cost of $4 million and include: a redesigned entrance and lobby area with enhancements made to the T&B Café; a new circulation desk and service point that will include laptop circulation; updates to the library's HVAC system; completely renovated restrooms; new technical services workspace area; new hub of offices, allowing for the centralization of most librarians, library administration and the Office of the Associate Provost of Transformational Experiences; relocated and updated library classroom/computer lab; new collaborative group study areas and study rooms; and a new location for the Office of Community-Engaged Learning.
