The Library has made some big changes to our two main locations – Dana Porter and Davis Centre libraries. Check them out in the Library revitalization video:
Guided by our vision for library space and student feedback, our revitalization team worked with an advisory committee and architects at WalterFedy on a plan to improve existing spaces and create new spaces that meet the changing needs of our users. This $3.3 million project included $500,000 from our generous donors - an amount that has been matched by the university. For detailed information, visit the Library renovation blog.
