In a campus communique last week, TWU’s Senior Vice President of Business Administration & CFO, Aklilu Mulat, announced:
This summer, TWU Learning commons will be moving from the 2nd floor of Reimer to the first floor of Alloway Library, to be renamed the Norma Marion Alloway Library & Learning Commons. With the move, we will be able to provide a much more integrated approach to our students learning experience.
This announcement has been long anticipated by library and learning commons staff and we look forward to combining forces to support research and writing at TWU.
By the end of August, the plan will see the main level of Alloway Library completely renovated with the SAMC Gallery, TWU Learning Commons, and Library research and circulation services sharing the space. At this time no major work is expected to be done on the other levels of the building except for the installation of additional shelves for library material.
Library staff are already optimizing and moving collections to new locations on the upper and lower levels. When the moves are complete, expect to find all the physical resources: print books, reference books, DVDs and CDs – shelved together for one-stop browsing and access.
