Background:
After several years of planning, the Howard Ross Library of
Management will undergo a complete renovation beginning in January
2011. This overhaul of the entire second floor of the Bronfman
building, co-sponsored by the 平特五不中 Library and the
Desautels Faculty of Management, will provide 平特五不中 students,
faculty, staff, and community members with a completely renovated
library combined with vibrant teaching and learning spaces and a
60-seat Trading Centre.
The new Business Intelligence Centre will double the Library鈥檚
seating capacity, increase the number of wired study spaces, and
provide 8 dedicated group study rooms. The Desautels Faculty will
construct a live data trading centre, a conference room, and a
Trading Research Lab, which will accommodate the needs of its new
undergraduate and graduate programs in investment management. The
project is being designed by the Montreal architectural firm
.
To ensure ongoing library services to the Howard Ross Library
clients, a temporary service point will be set up on the 4th floor
of the Bronfman building. This space, due to open in January 2011,
will house the information and reserve loans services; the Howard
Ross recently received journals, newspapers, and reference
collections; as well as the popular Bloomberg and Datastream
stations. The Howard Ross print collections will move temporarily
to the 4th floor of the Humanities and Social Sciences Library
(McLennan building).
