Renovation Timeline
The Campbell Library Renovation has begun.
Phase One
The first phase of the renovation begins with Floors 4, 5, & 6, focused on preparation for the debut of the Dreamscape Learn Center in late Fall 2024.
During Phase One, we will be doing everything we can to keep as many spaces and services available to the community for as long as possible.
Phase Two
Renovations will then proceed, likely in early-January 2025, with Floors 1, 2, & 3. Our goal is to complete the renovation of Campbell Library in 2026.
While we aim for a smooth timeline, unexpected circumstances may arise. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate through this exciting project.
