The $10 million renovation of the Col. Robert Morse Library will begin in mid-May after 2023 Commencement. The renovations will transform the college’s 1960s-era library with upgraded technology and modern, user-friendly spaces for learning, studying, collaborating, and socializing.
Library services will transition to the Powerhouse’s Riverside Lounge between May 15 and June 5. During the 2023-24 academic year, students, faculty, and staff will have access to library collections and the most popular materials, course reserves, and equipment can be checked out.
Students can also access material electronically and through inter-library loans. Printing services will be located at the Powerhouse and other campus locations. Some library staff will have offices in the Powerhouse, while others, including Information Technology staff, will be located in Mayer Hall.
A grand opening of the renovated library and Impact Beloit, home of the college’s career-ready and community-based learning programs, is planned for fall 2024.
