As part of the ongoing Geisel Library HVAC Renewal Project, we are entering the next phase of this essential initiative to improve our facilities and ensure a comfortable environment for all. Starting January 2, 2025, Floor 5 of Geisel Library will close for approximately 10 weeks to accommodate the continuation of this project.
Here are some important updates and reminders as we move forward:
Accessing Materials Floor 5
The collection on a closed floor will be accessible via our request service.
Noise Levels
To minimize any distractions caused by noise that may be present as a result of construction, we will continue to offer complimentary earplugs. During the closure of Floor 5, earplugs will be available on Floors 4 and 6.
Seating
While Floor 5 is temporarily closed, the number of available study seats and group study rooms in Geisel will be affected. We recommend checking the UC San Diego mobile app or Waitz for real-time updates prior to arriving at Geisel and reserving study rooms in advance.
Alternate Study Space
Located on the south end of Library Walk, WongAvery Library is available to all UC San Diego affiliates and the public. WongAvery hours differ from Geisel’s, so we encourage you to check our Hours web page before your visit. Additional study spaces on campus are also available.
Thank you for your continued patience as we work toward improving our HVAC system at Geisel Library.
