Crerar Library roof update #2: Lobby and first floor furniture removal

Starting on July 2, the next steps in the Crerar Roof replacement will begin with the removal of the lobby furniture, including the benches, chairs, and display cases, as well as the tables on the east side of the first floor reading room. On July 3, computer tables on the first floor will the removed, but will returned as soon as possible. The rest of the furniture will be returned once work has completed. CSIL classrooms and computers, seating behind the reference desk, and reference bookstacks will be unaffected.

The furniture removal is necessary to prepare for work on the lobby skylight. We apologize for the inconvenience. Additional study areas are available on the 2nd, 3rd, and lower levels. Please contact crerar-circulation@lib.uchicago.edu with any comments or questions.
