    Construction continues on the library expansion

    Construction of the library expansion will continue during spring semester 2023. Currently the steel frame, decking, and roof are under construction, along with site and utility updates. While it is possible that the construction could cause noise impacts in the library, thus far the noise has been minimal. We are looking forward to a completion date of fall 2024. In the meantime, Randall Library is a great place to study, learn, explore, and relax!

  • Giving Tuesday 2022
    Posted: November 28, 2022
    Giving Tuesday UNC Wilmington November 29, 2022

    We’re growing!

    After more than four years of planning, Randall Library has started construction on its new 80,000-SF expansion!  The new building, just west of the existing Randall, will open Fall 2024.

    While we pride ourselves on our varied and technology-rich spaces for students, faculty and staff, Randall Library is more than the building and the collections it houses. We are developing new library services that will move teaching, research, and scholarship forward so that we can truly be the intellectual heart of the campus.

    As part of Like No Other: The Campaign for UNCW, your annual gift will contribute to these new services, spaces, and resources, allowing the library to respond quickly to the changing needs of our students and faculty. We hope that you will consider a gift for #Giving Tuesday or any other day - it will truly make a Randall a library like no other!

    Thank you for your support.

    Lucy Holman
    Associate Provost and Dean of the Library
