Mills Library is getting an upgrade, with new windows being installed through mid-September.

Construction has begun at Mills Memorial Library as part of a project to replace windows and solar screens, supporting ongoing improvements to the building’s performance and longevity.

Work is expected to continue throughout the summer, wrapping up in mid-September.

During construction, the campus community can expect intermittent noise and increased activity around Mills Library. Temporary construction fencing and material laydown areas will be in place.

Interior spaces near windows may experience short-term disruptions as work moves along the building perimeter. No accessibility impacts are anticipated, though exterior pedestrian routes near the site may be temporarily adjusted for safety.
