Library Renovation Project: July 2021 – August 2021
REVISED 6-24-2021
Construction of scaffolding for the skylight replacement project is scheduled to begin on Monday, June 28 Wednesday, June 30. Noise levels in the Library during this time will be very high, although the work will be performed during off-hours as much as possible. There will also be a noise meter and signs placed near the Library entrance.
Starting July 2021, the three skylights situated above the main seating section of the Library (curved couch, large tables, and outside the computer classroom) will be replaced. Scaffolding and safety barriers will be installed in July, and work is expected to continue into mid-August. All three skylights will be removed and reinstalled with a new energy efficient skylight system.

The Library will be undergoing a bit of destructive demolition on the skylights beginning at 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 13. Work will continue until 4:00 p.m. We apologize for the noise, but repairs are needed and improvements are on the way!
