\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Renovation work has officially begun on Morris Library Room 102, formerly known as the Class of 1941 Lecture Room. As part of a university-wide initiative to upgrade classroom facilities across campus, this project will transform Room 102 into an extended-hours study area, expanding student study options during times when the main library is closed.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Located adjacent to the main entryway and the Morris Library Commons, the renovated Room 102 will establish a larger, integrated study zone at the front of the library. When the main library closes, the space will automatically open for student study using a UD ONECard access system via the patio door entrance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During standard operating hours, the <\/span>renovated<\/span> Room 102 will remain available for library events, meetings, and instructional programming.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Building access to Morris Library will remain fully open and unaffected throughout the construction period.<\/span> Construction activities generating significant noise will be limited as much as possible during open hours. Project completion is targeted prior to final exams in December.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
