Research at the Center Construction UpdateThe Special Collections Research Center (SCRC) at the University of Chicago Library will close for a three-week period in December 2009 to allow for construction work in both our public and collections storage spaces. SCRC will be closed beginning Monday, December 14, 2009 and will re-open on Monday, January 4, 2010. Beginning December 14, 2009, construction of the Joe and Rika Mansueto Library will move into the Regenstein Library as the contractor creates a new entrance hallway to Mansueto across the first floor of Regenstein. This work will affect Special Collections access routes, public service areas and staff offices. Service disruptions may last until the opening of the Mansueto Library in spring 2011. During construction we may experience reduced hours and limited seating availability. Additionally, some collections - or parts of collections -- will not be available November 16, 2009 - January 18, 2010. Please see our Inaccessible Collections page and our Construction Update page for more information. The Special Collections Reading Room is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 4:45.
