Mitchell Multimedia Center to Undergo Renovation

Northwestern University Library is happy to announce that the Marjorie I. Mitchell Multimedia Center will undergo a renovation during the summer 2008. The renovation will improve the services and spaces within the Mitchell Multimedia Center. The renovations include a more convenient entrance, a larger service desk, additional public NUcat stations, self-serve carrels and viewing facilities, increased collection capacity, and a video return drop box. Portions of the renovation are part of the Life Safety and ADA updates that have been taking place throughout the Library.

The Multimedia Center and the collection will be closed beginning Monday, June 16, 2008. The Center is offering advance checkout to faculty for summer session and fall quarter classes beginning Monday, June 9 through Friday, June 13. Items borrowed during this period will be due back to the Library on Monday, September 29.

The construction affects the Forum Room, the Video Theater, and Seminar Room 3746, all three of which will be closed throughout the renovation.

The Multimedia Center is scheduled to re-open at the beginning of the 2008 fall quarter.
