The Georgia Tech Library will reopen to students, faculty, staff and the public at 8 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 18. All services and most physical collections will be available.

“We will return those physical collections to our shelves as they are cleaned,” she added.

• Expert consultation, including 24-hour INFODesk service;

WHAT HAPPENED? 

In late July and early August multiple campus buildings lost air conditioning due to a chilled water outage. To protect the physical collections in the Library, faculty and staffed moved every book to Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons. Faculty and staff are now in the process of cleaning materials, plus shelves and tables.
