The Gorgas Library Core Support, Phase II subsequently ended in June with additional work replacing the HVAC units in the east attic on 5th floor with an expected completion date in early February 2025. Meanwhile, the University Libraries administration has been collaborating with Shepley-Bulfinch Architects, CMH Architects, and UA Construction Administration to plan Phases III and IV. Phase III is anticipated to begin in May or June of this year. This phase will involve renovations on the 5th, 6th, and 7th floors of Gorgas Library, along with the creation of a new Digital Scholarship Zone on the 1st floor. Please stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

In recent months, various projects have also been planned and executed in other University Libraries
facilities. Scholars Station, the computer lab in Rodgers Library, received new paint, flooring, and
electrical boxes during Thanksgiving break. New furniture and displays were installed this week,
completing the project. Before and after pictures are included below to showcase the updates.
The Shelby Papers grant is ongoing in Special Collections and has allowed for light renovation of
processing spaces. This has significantly improved the efficiency of processing the papers and artifacts.
