We’re excited to share the latest updates on ongoing projects at the UCR Library!

Both Rivera and Orbach Libraries are undergoing important renovations to improve our spaces for your study and research needs.

Tomás Rivera Library

• Special Collections & University Archives has reopened. You can visit Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the 4th floor. 
• The basement reopened in the afternoon on Monday, September 30.  
• Our group study rooms are getting a mini makeover—stay tuned for more exciting details!  
• Work continues on our HVAC system upgrade. We expect the project to be done by the end of the year.

Orbach Library

• Our full roof replacement project is underway. The 3rd floor will only be open to authorized personnel. We anticipate reopening the 3rd floor to everyone by the end of Winter Quarter 2025, when the project is complete. In the meantime, study spaces and public computers are available on the 1st and 2nd floors.  

We appreciate your patience as we work to improve our facilities and look forward to welcoming you back to these refreshed spaces!
