Finals got you down? Donut worry! We’ve got dogs and donuts for you on Wednesday, December 3rd, 11:30am-12:30pm. The pups from Intermountain Therapy Animals will join us on the main level of the library! See you there!

The Eccles Health Sciences Library will close for construction for 3 weeks: May 19 – June 8.

During this time, crews will be conducting heavy demolition, abatement, and steel installation. These activities will be very disruptive and make the building difficult to occupy. Closing the building will also allow the work to progress more quickly and efficiently without disruption.

The Eccles Health Sciences Education Building (EHSEB) will be open 24 hours a day as a study space throughout the library closure. Security will be present. The library’s front desk staff will be available M-F, 7am-6pm in EHSEB 3100.

If you have questions, please contact EHSL staff at https://libanswers.med.utah.edu or 801-581-5534.
