If all continues on schedule, we will begin moving books into these shelves next week. Here’s a glimpse of the progress.

Many thanks to all who worked so hard to get it ready so quickly — Public Services, Tech Support, etc. Tables and chairs have been arranged to restrict access to the stacks due to earthquake safety regulation while on the lower level construction of the compact shelving continues apace.

Eccles Health Sciences Library has been selected by the Asbestos Protocol program at the University of Utah for removal of asbestos containing materials. The ceiling tiles on all three levels of the library are slated for removal later this Fall 2009. In addition to the removal and replacement of the ceiling and updating the fire sprinkler system, upgrades to the electrical, lighting and networking systems will also be performed.

The six to eight month project will be expedited in phases and will require the library building be closed to the public for most of the project. Library services and staff will continue to be available. Library staff will re-locate to space within the Health Sciences Center such as the Health Sciences Education Building and the School of Medicine. Phone, online and virtual services will continue uninterrupted. The physical collections of journals, books and documents will be available through a delivery service. Library staff will retrieve journals and books for users.
