"As the campus continues to expand, we are addressing a much sought after need for more space to accommodate the study and collaboration habits of our on-campus and commuter students," said Audrey Geisel University Librarian Erik Mitchell. Geisel’s 2nd Floor is the most active floor in the building, and the redesign is intended to empower users to engage with library services by offering more on-demand, self-service options. The forthcoming changes have been informed by several assessments of contemporary user needs and traffic patterns, as well as feedback from UC San Diego students, faculty and staff. The renovations, which are expected to be completed by July 2022, will create an inspiring arrival experience and organize spaces and services in a simplified and intuitive way.

Renovation of Geisel’s 2nd (main) Floor will enhance the user experience by creating modern, collaborative spaces that advance research and learning.

UC San Diego’s flagship Geisel Library is getting a much-needed transformation to make the iconic building as inspirational on the inside as it is on the outside. Final phase of the Geisel Library Revitalization Initiative is underway
