Preparing for Library Construction
Davidson College will transform and expand the existing library to create a world-class, modern library with enhanced opportunities for students, faculty, staff, and the broader community.
From summer 2025 to fall 2027, the current library building will be closed for renovation. Convenient access to library staff, study spaces, and library resources will be prioritized throughout the construction period.
