Reminder: Killam atrium closed beginning May 6

Posted by Dal Libraries on May 2, 2024 in Facilities Management

The Killam atrium will be closed from May 6 – August 2 as part of the Killam Library Deep Energy Retrofit Project.

There will be no access to the atrium and food services in that area. Second Cup, Subway, and Bento Sushi are now closed and will remain closed until August.

Closure of the atrium will enable:

  • Window cleaning (🎉)
  • Replacement of broken windows
  • Lighting improvements
  • Fans and ductwork to help distribute heat back down to the main floor in winter

The front entrance of the Killam Library will be closed on May 6 & 7 to construct a tunnel that will provide safe access to the library during the atrium renovation. 

  • The fire exit door in the Downie Wenjack Legacy Space on the ground floor of Killam will be open during these two days of tunnel construction.
  • The back door facing Howe Hall will be used as an alternative accessible entrance for those two days.

The front doors will become accessible again from May 8 on, and the tunnel can be used to access the Student Accessibility Centre and Killam Library. 

Thank you for your patience during this significant phase of the Killam Library retrofit!
