Preparing for a new library

Preparation work for construction of the new Henry Madden Library building at California State University, Fresno continues with a construction fence in place and work trailers and other equipment moving onto the site.

The north and west sides of the library are fenced and construction trailers are being moved into the area on the west. Demolition of the north wing is scheduled to begin in July and be completed by the start of the fall semester. Completion of the library is expected in fall 2008.

Swinerton Builders will oversee the planning and construction of the 283,600-square-foot library addition that will replace the north wing of the Madden Library and the renovation of the 68,695-square-foot south wing that will remain.

Work also continues to prepare a new space for the Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) office. The remodeling work is being completed by the university’s Plant Operations staff.

SSD will move the week of June 12 from its current location in the library into remodeled space in the former Carl’s Jr. restaurant in University Center, across from the University Student Union.
