The Carney Library will re-open to staff tomorrow and to the public on Wednesday, August 22nd.

The following is the official update from Deb McLaughlin, COO and Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance:

“This is an update on the damage assessment, cleanup, repair and reopening efforts after Wednesday’s storm that affected the Claire T. Carney Library.

As already announced, the Library has reopened to senior staff. We will reopen floor 4 to staff tomorrow, Tuesday, August 21. All staff assigned to floor 4 must report to work tomorrow.

Repair and remediation work on floor 5 is nearly completed and will reopen to staff tomorrow and to the public on Wednesday.

Despite the challenges of the last week, the construction and renovation effort is on schedule, and we expect to have the Library open to all staff, faculty, students and members of the public in time for the start of the Fall Semester.

I want to personally thank each member of staff for your patience during this process.”
