construction. Project goals include creation of a centralized service point and a permanent Arts Quad entrance on the first floor, updated public restrooms and new space for Anthropology collection engagement on the basement level, as well as improved wayfinding and welcoming study space on both levels. Additionally, the mechanical systems located in the sub-basement will be modernized to improve comfort throughout the lower levels of the building.</p><p>Design,聽lead by architects from <a href="https://www.goodyclancy.com/">Goody Clancy</a>, concluded at the end of the Fall 2023 semester. Construction on both the first floor and basement levels began in December 2023 and should be complete by March 2025. Please see the timeline below for the expected duration of construction on both levels. While it is an important goal to keep Olin Library open to the public throughout construction, please subscribe for updates on changes to services and spaces as the work is phased.</p><figure id="attachment_608" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-608" style="width: 1920px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://blogs.cornell.edu/libraryspaceprojects/files/2024/06/ALPHA_from-main-west-entry.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-608 size-full" src="https://blogs.cornell.edu/libraryspaceprojects/files/2024/06/ALPHA_from-main-west-entry.jpg" alt="A rendering of the renovated first floor and new service point" width="1920" height="1080" srcset="https://blogs.cornell.edu/libraryspaceprojects/files/2024/06/ALPHA_from-main-west-entry.jpg 1920w, https://blogs.cornell.edu/libraryspaceprojects/files/2024/06/ALPHA_from-main-west-entry-768x432.jpg 768w, https://blogs.cornell.edu/libraryspaceprojects/files/2024/06/ALPHA_from-main-west-entry-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"/></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-608" class="wp-caption-text">A rendering of the renovated first floor and new service point</figcaption></figure><h3>Timeline</h3><p>The construction schedule for Olin Library is below.

The lobby and west reading area on the first floor opened just in time for the start of the spring semester. As the project enters the final phase, we look forward to opening the new Arts Quad entrance, north reading room, and new connecting stair to the basement student commons in the coming months. Other improvements to anticipate include all new furniture on the first floor and new wayfinding signage throughout the renovated spaces.</p><figure id="attachment_694" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-694" style="width: 1920px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://blogs.cornell.edu/libraryspaceprojects/files/2025/01/IMG_9024.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-694 size-full" src="https://blogs.cornell.edu/libraryspaceprojects/files/2025/01/IMG_9024.jpg" alt="View of the first floor lobby area facing SE from the main entrance." width="1920" height="1440" srcset="https://blogs.cornell.edu/libraryspaceprojects/files/2025/01/IMG_9024.jpg 1920w, https://blogs.cornell.edu/libraryspaceprojects/files/2025/01/IMG_9024-768x576.jpg 768w, https://blogs.cornell.edu/libraryspaceprojects/files/2025/01/IMG_9024-1536x1152.jpg 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"/></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-694" class="wp-caption-text">View of the first floor lobby area facing SE from the main entrance.</figcaption></figure><figure id="attachment_693" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-693" style="width: 1920px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://blogs.cornell.edu/libraryspaceprojects/files/2025/01/IMG_9026.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-693" src="https://blogs.cornell.edu/libraryspaceprojects/files/2025/01/IMG_9026.jpg" alt="View of the west Anthropology Collaboratory entrance with temporary wayfinding signage.
