MU Plaza Gets Update South of Hayden Library

May 5, 2008 · Hayden Library, Tempe campus · Comments Off

New shaded areas and additional seating aheadMU Plaza

We would like to alert Hayden Library patrons to the Memorial Union Plaza Renovation project currently underway directly to the south of Hayden Library. This major construction project will result in increased shade and seating for the campus community. The construction process is scheduled in two phases, with the bulk of work to be completed between May 12 and August 1, 2008. It will be completed over winter break with the final installation of shade canopies. We anticipate significant noise and vibration disruptions in the southern sections of Hayden Library throughout the summer. As the schedule currently exists work will be conducted from sunrise to mid-afternoon each day.

Library users who would like suggestions for alternate quiet study areas, are encouraged to consult the Circulation or Reference desk, located on the lower concourse/entrance level of Hayden Library. We will be happy to assist you.
