This summer, the Loyola Information Commons (IC), Cudahy Library, and the Women and Leadership Archives in Piper Hall will be undergoing refresh and construction that will affect your visit to our spaces. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, guests, and community members are welcome to use the library during building hours. We want to ensure your safety, so here is an overview to help you plan for your visit. More details can be found on the library’s summer facilities projects page. We appreciate your patience during this time.
- The IC will be closed starting on Saturday, May 13 through August to make way for new carpeting and furniture. The replacement of the furniture and carpet will be followed by a technological upgrade to the IC 4th Floor.
