We are happy to announce that the upstairs (the 300 level) of the Neil John Maclean Health Sciences Library is now open to the public. The unofficial opening took place at 10am, January 18, 2011. A grand opening event is planned for later in the year. It has been nearly a year since the February 1, 2010 announcement of our renovation project. And what a long year it has been: noisy, dusty, full of the comings and goings of construction workers, with much of the library behind hoardings for months on end, and study space reduced to a minimum. It hasn't been easy for you, our patrons.
The new library is a much larger, brighter and better-designed "health information place." We hope you will take advantage of the newly renovated library, which offers comfortable new furniture and ample study space, twelve bookable high-tech seminar rooms, a large boardroom with computer and podium, and wheelchair-accessible public washrooms - and of course, the same knowledgeable and helpful staff.
