A New Look for the Library
Creating a modern space for students to prepare for their careers, study, and learn.
The Mount Aloysius library is in the process of being upgraded and modernized, with a new focus on career-readiness and student success. The new Career Center area will feature three office spaces, two interview rooms, and spaces for students to work collaboratively. There will also be a conference room with a kitchenette for employers to meet with students on-campus, as well as meeting and class spaces. The first floor will be home to the new and improved Cyber Lab, which will feature state-of-the-art equipment and technology for our cybersecurity students thanks to a $100,000 grant from the Alden Trust. This upgrade builds upon our designation as a Center for Academic Excellence by the NSA and Department of Homeland Security. Offices on the first floor will also receive updates, and a casual reading and work space will be constructed for student use. The lower level of the building will house the Mount
Aloysius library collections as well as the Rev. Myers Ecumenical Center. The first half of construction will be completed for Fall 2023, and the other half is to be completed after the academic year ends in May 2024.
