We’re getting a new roof!  Construction on the Law Library roof will begin Monday, March 18, 2013 and will be completed Friday, April 12, 2013.  To minimize noise and disruption, the work will be done weekdays from 10:00 pm – 6:30 am.  The largest part of the project will be the dome over the Treatise Collection on the 2nd floor.  Thank you for your patience and please let us know if you have concerns about the noise.

We apologize for the inconvenience. We hope this construction will  provide some much-needed enhancement to the building.
