Russell Library's Flooring Project

Russell Library is excited to announce upcoming improvements that will enhance your study and research experience. Beginning Sept. 15, 2025, Russell Library will undergo flooring and carpet installation throughout the building. 

What This Means for You: 

• Continuing Service: The library will remain open and operational throughout the project; however, it may be necessary to use alternative pathways to access spaces 

• Temporary Changes: Some study rooms and seating areas will be temporarily unavailable on a rolling basis 

• Collections Access: Library materials will remain accessible, though some items may be temporarily relocated 

How We're Minimizing Disruption: 

• Work will be completed in phases to keep as much of the library operational as possible 

• Our staff will be available to assist you in finding alternative study spaces and accessing materials 

• Stay Informed: We have created a dedicated project information page at https://libguides.gcsu.edu/flooring-project where you can find current project status and timelines, plus available study spaces and room closures
