We’re excited to share that construction on the new Archives and Special Collections Building is making progress. As of late October, the project had reached just over 21% completion—an encouraging milestone toward an anticipated Fall 2027 opening.

On site, there’s plenty of activity: new walls are going up, framing is taking shape on the upper levels, and the first vault is beginning to take form. Much of the mechanical demolition is now complete, and crews are wrapping up exterior waterproofing and excavation work. The space is taking shape with each passing week, looking more and more like the building we’ve imagined for our students, researchers, and visitors.
