On May 31, 2024, at 5 p.m. the Leonard H. Gemmill Engineering, Math & Physics Library, located in the Mathematics Building, will close for renovations. Our timeline for reopening right now is summer 2025. These renovations are needed to restore Gemmill Library after water damage that occurred on Jan. 7, 2022. This will include replacing the current stacks that were outdated and damaged by the water event.
Gemmill collections will not be physically browsable during the renovations. Collections will be accessible by request during the closure. Campus affiliates can place holds on items in the physical collections and have them delivered to any of our open library locations. Faculty can also have books delivered to their campus mailbox.
The Jerry Crail Johnson Earth Sciences & Map Library, located in the Benson Earth Sciences Building, will extend their regular semester hours (Fall/Spring) until 8 p.m. during the closure, and periodicals and popular science reading will move to that library space for browsing. Course reserves will also be available at the Jerry Crail Johnson Earth Sciences & Map Library. The book return box outside Gemmill Library will remain accessible. The William M. White Business Library, which is located in the Koebel Building (Leeds School of Business), is also close by for those who work and study in the vicinity of the Engineering complex.
If you have any questions about this closure, please contact Senior Associate Dean Leslie Reynolds (leslie.reynolds@colorado.edu).
