Library Hours

Until the renovation is complete, with a new projected reopening time of mid-October, the library is operating out of room 235 in the library building. There will be no study space until the renovation is complete.

From October 23rd, Robertson Library will extend access to study spaces in response to student feedback and advocacy from the Student Union. Students will have access to Library study spaces until midnight during the academic term and until 3:00 a.m. during the final examination period.

To support these extended hours, the Library is revising staffed service hours to align with periods of highest demand while maintaining access to library facilities outside traditional service desk hours.

What Students Can Expect:

• Extended access to Library study and learning spaces (Study Hours)
• Safe building access outside staffed service hours with security coverage
• Group study rooms available on a first-come, first-served basis after 6:00 p.m.
• Library services concentrated during peak demand periods (Service Hours)
• Self-checkout technology for borrowing during extended hours (coming soon)
• Secure charging stations for phones, laptops, and other devices (coming soon)

These changes reflect Robertson Library’s commitment to providing a safe, accessible, and student-focused learning environment.
