Centennial Library Partially Reopens

Centennial Science and Engineering Library has reopened access to level one after burst water pipes over the Christmas holiday caused serious damage. The reference collection, journals and undamaged maps are available, along with access to E-reserves, copiers and microform readers.

Librarians will assist with requests for interlibrary loans of books since the entire book collection has been placed in storage while repairs are completed on level two. For more information about how to access the library, call (505) 277-2003 or visit elibrary.unm.edu.

Damage repair for level two is underway, but it will be several weeks before repairs are completed and the book collection can be reshelved. Damage assessment is still in progress. Carpeting will be removed and some interior walls must be torn down and rebuilt. If repairs go smoothly, level two will reopened in April.
