Special notice: The Eccles Health Sciences Library is experiencing severe levels of noise 6:00 am to 4:00 pm, from February 26 - April 1, in this phase of its seismic refitting project.
If you choose to use the library spaces while noise levels are high, the use of ear protection is recommended. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets legal limits on noise exposure by stating, "With noise, OSHA's permissible exposure limit (PEL) is 90 dBA for all workers for an 8 hour day." 1
Quality Plugs ear plugs are available at the library front desk, temporarily relocated to EHSEB 3100. When worn according to product instructions, Quality Plugs ear plugs provide Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 32 decibels. 2

Please note: The Library building will undergo seismic construction until October 2024. This could mean substantial noise due to construction from 7 am - 4 pm each weekday, Monday through Friday. Noise cancellation headphones will be available for checkout to patrons during regular hours. See retrofit project information for updated project news, particularly before physically traveling to the building in case of potential disruptions to access. ADA-compliant sidewalk access continues on the main floor, south side, and top floor, north side, of the building; also from EHSEB (Eccles Health Sciences Education Building) on the south side, top floor, via the enclosed pedestrian bridge, during regular EHSEB hours. For students registered with their college, there will still be 24 hour, 7 days per week access via student ID cards.
Please note: Current health sciences students may have unlimited access. Students, please consult with your school, college or department for details.
