Carleton Maxwell MacOdrum Library to undergo major renovations

Thursday, March 8, 2012

As you are aware, MacOdrum Library is undergoing a year-long renovation. Construction is now underway and it will continue into 2013.

Library staff will do everything possible to minimize any disruption to students, faculty and staff during the construction. Please note that there will be some additional noise in the Library, which is unavoidable.  Construction noise should stop after 3 p.m., Monday to Friday and there should not be any construction on weekends.

Throughout the renovation, we will post all updates as they become available on the Library’s renovation website  and in Today@Carleton.

Updates: 

Update on the closure of the main entrance to MacOdrum Library. There has been a change in the date of the closure of the front door of the library.  The closure of the main entrance to MacOdrum Library will now occur at the end of April, after the exam period. Once the front entrance to the library is closed, it will be closed for the duration of the construction. At that time, access to the library will be through the south side (Southam Hall side) door only. A ramp is being built for additional accessibility.

Please note that from  April 5 to 24 there will be 100 study spaces made available in Porter Hall. This will be quiet study space and will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday. Power access and Internet access will be limited.

We appreciate your patience during the construction period. Should you have questions or concerns, please contact Val Critchley at Valerie_critchley [at] carleton [dot] ca
