Construction Updates: Mahaffey Business Library Services and Resources

Dear Colleagues,

We hope the summer is treating you well and you are surviving the hot weather!

As the Mahaffey Business Library prepares to relocate within the College, we're looking forward to this new chapter in our partnership with Mendoza. We want to keep you well-informed every step of the way, and we remain dedicated to providing you with the continuous support and seamless services you rely on during this transition. Following is more information about our upcoming move.

Construction Timeline

Through July 17 (pre-construction)
All Mahaffey Business Library services in L001 will remain the same through July 17.

July 18 – August 8 (relocation)
Most computers and equipment will be removed from the current library space (L001); many will be relocated to L064 (including with Bloomberg access) and the corridor outside of L064. Please note: Until the new Trading Room is open in Mendoza 123, the only access to Bloomberg terminals will still be in the Mahaffey Business Library. During this transitional time, the business librarians and core services, including Bloomberg access, will still be available.

August 13 (open in new space!)
We plan to be fully transitioned and open in the new space by Wednesday, August 13. Please note that this timeline may be subject to change.

• Business Library faculty and staff will be located in L012 (Pete’s current office).
