WPI Gordon Library

Library Renovation Update!

Gordon Library’s main (entrance) floor will undergo major renovations this summer that will expand the footprint of the Class of 1970 Café, bring efficient and modern lighting throughout the floor, add student seating, and create a new studio arts classroom. Visit our website for more details about this exciting renovation.

In preparation for the renovation of the Library’s main floor this summer and fall, the Library will be closed to the public from June 1 through June 14. This closure will allow construction crews to build a temporary pedestrian tunnel to ensure safe access to the Library.

While we are closed, library staff will remain available to assist you. If you need items from the collection or have a question, please email us at [email protected] or call 508-831-5410. Staff will be on-site and ready to help.

Thank you for your understanding and patience!
