WATCH: Saint Mary’s Library Modernization Is in Full Swing
We’ve begun work on a new chapter for the SMC Library. This full-scale renovation—one will reimagine the library as a dynamic hub for study, collaboration, research, and discovery.
Saint Mary’s Library staff is proud to share an update on the modernization of the Saint Albert Hall Library. Thanks to the generous support of our alumni and donor community, work is now underway to prepare the building for construction beginning this summer.
The updates to the library will create dynamic spaces for study, collaboration, and research, and will strengthen the academic experience for every Gael. The Library is scheduled to reopen the Saint Albert Hall Library in Fall 2027.
During this time, library services continue in our temporary location at the Power Plant. This ensures students, faculty, and staff have uninterrupted access to the resources and support they rely on.
Together, we are building a library worthy of the generations who will learn, question, and grow here. Thank you for making this possible.
Lauren MacDonald is the Dean of the Library and Academic Resources Director, and Bryan Navarro is the Executive Director of Advancement Communications.
