Construction near library
You may have noticed the parking areas by Mudd Library have been blocked off this week to make room for two cranes to work on the library chiller project. One crane has been set up at the west end of the area by the fountain, while the other has been on the Lawe Street side of the library. There should be enough room to carefully turn around in the south entrance.
If you have any questions or need more information, please contact the facility services office at 920-832-6602.
