Pardon our dust! The renovation of the Bouwhuis Library has begun. Rest assured that you will continue to have access to the library and also to Tim Horton’s.
The renovation project will transform the space into a technology-rich learning commons. Phase One of renovation includes two new group study lounges and a new state-of-the-art classroom. The project also includes the expansion of the curriculum center, which houses a comprehensive collection of teaching materials to help education students enrich their lesson plans, and a complete transformation of the study space near the in-house Tim Horton’s. The latter will provide students with a more collaborative and modernized learning environment.
