Welcome to the New Library
Message from the Library Director...
Welcome to the webpage exploring the newly expanded Regina Library. This webpage is the Library’s online resource to inform members of the Rivier and greater community about what was achieved during the Regina Library expansion and renovation project.
After slightly over a year of work and the efforts of many people, Regina Library is now fully open, including the renovated side of the building and the book stacks. Thank you for your patience during this process and I hope that you will come by and check out the new library spaces. The café opened in late August and will feature expanded hours during the semester.
The Library staff is excited about the new library that has emerged from this process. Here are some of the highlights of what patrons can enjoy in the expanded and renovated Library:
Addition of 11,700 square feet
Double the amount of seating in the Library
New and expanded Reference Room, Electronic Classroom and Quiet Study
New Café with seating for 30 guests
Three additional Group Studies for a total of five
New large open spaces for group collaborative work
Full-size elevator
Large central skylight spanning the length of the building, from the entrance to the café
Please feel free to contact me with any questions about the project. We eagerly look forward to sharing this new library space with everyone!
