Reminder: Library building closure, June 1 - June 22
6/10/26: Updated to reflect extension of closure.
Construction is about to begin! To prepare the library for our exciting renovation project, as announced in May, the Gordon Library building will be closed to the public beginning Monday, June 1 and is aiming to re-open on Monday, June 22.
During this time, construction crews will build a temporary pedestrian tunnel to provide safe access to the Library. Once the tunnel is completed on June 22nd, the Library's Ground, First (Lower) and Third (Upper) floors will be accessible to the public via the construction tunnel.
Services previously located on the main entrance floor have been moved to alternate locations: Services during the building closure include:
- LIBRARY SERVICES:
- Most library staff and services, including circulation, research and interlibrary loan, have moved to the First (Lower) floor. During the temporary building closure, Library staff will be working both in the building and remotely and may arrange to meet you in person elsewhere on campus if needed. Please contact us at library@wpi.edu.
