Timeline
This timeline shows activity starting in spring 2015, with data gathering and campus input from students, faculty, staff and alumnae continuing through the summer and fall of 2015. The project committees and working groups are working to ensure that the college’s design and aesthetic ambitions for the New Neilson Library are realized in the context of its program requirements as well as the campus as a whole. The current Neilson and Alumnae Gym buildings will close for construction on May 21, 2017 and reopen in the fall of 2020.
For information about Library collections access and services during construction, see Library Services Now.
