Olin update

The major changes associated with the Olin fire safety improvement project may be over, but that hasn’t stopped the staff of Olin/Kroch/Uris from making incremental improvements to the building.  Three improvements are likely to be of interest to CU historians:

• After many years, we were finally able to install outlets by all of the graduate student carrels on floors 3-7 in Olin. As you can imagine, the graduate students who have commented on the change are very, very happy.

• Staff recently reconfigured the North Reading Room on the first floor of Olin to consolidate the reference collection, increase the number of user seats, and allow more light into the building.
• Later this year, the library staff offices on the 5th floor will be renovated to become a graduate reading room.  This will replace the former History graduate room on the 6th floor, which has been closed for a number of years because of construction. All of the graduate study rooms will be consolidated in 501 Olin (except for the Classics reading rooms). The construction of 501 is expected to conclude by March 30 2013 and we’ll be able to open it by the fall.
