A large section of the first floor of Bailey/Howe Library will be closed to the public from July 14 to August 1 as part of an asbestos-abatement and re-carpeting project taking place in the Reference Room. Carpeted sections of the Reference Room (west and south sides) will be sealed off, existing carpet and underlying floor tiles and mastic (glue) will be removed, and new carpeting will be installed.
Throughout the duration of this project, the Bailey/Howe reference desk will be temporarily relocated to the entrance lobby, and access to approximately 27 computer workstations on the first floor may be disrupted. Access to the Bailey/Howe print reference collection will be restricted during this period, although it is anticipated that library personnel will be available to retrieve items from the reference collection upon request. The Bailey/Howe Instruction Center (Room 123) will also be unavailable for use.
Specific phases of the project are (please note that dates are subject to change):
July 14 - July 28: Removal of existing carpet, underlying floor tiles, and mastic (abatement project)
July 28 - Aug. 1: Installation of new carpet
