Rare Books and Special Collections and University Archives, located on the lower level of the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, are currently closed. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you have questions please call 604-822-2521.

Construction and demolition work will begin in the Asian Library on Thursday, May 2.

Access to the upper floor of the Library will remain restricted. Essential items in the library’s collection have been relocated to the lower floor to facilitate use, while all other material has been moved off-site and will be inaccessible for the duration of the construction.

Room bookings for meeting rooms will be suspended due to noise transfer to the rooms throughout construction.

The renovation, which is expected to be completed in the late Fall of 2019 will allow for better service delivery, study spaces, and programming spaces for the Asian Library as well as several improvements for the collection.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to improve spaces and services for faculty, students and the community.

Any questions about the renovation can be directed to Shirin Eshghi, Head, Asian Library.
