Starting on May 13th, the first floor entrances to O'Leary Library will be under construction.

Work will begin at the entrance by Starbucks. Starbucks will be closed this summer. If you're on South Campus and looking for food, the Merrimack Market is open on the second floor of McGauvran Center.

Watch this space to keep up with our progress and information about what will be available through the summer.
