  • Construction Update
    March 04, 2010

    UNCW's Learning Commons (http://www.uncw.edu/learningcommons) will open after spring break.  While all equipment and furniture won't be in place, many of the computers and printers now spread throughout Randall Library's first floor will be relocated to the area currently under construction.  Look for the computers and printers in their new locations when classes resume March 15!  As new equipment and furniture arrives throughout the rest of the semester, new items will be moved into the space.  A grand opening is planned during the first summer session.  For an updated plan of the Learning Commons space, visit the web site above.
