Dear UMBC Community, 

The Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery is undergoing construction to fix leaks and install a new roof. On Saturday, October 7, 2023, construction will take place inside the library's atrium to work on the ceiling and the roof above the atrium and the Retriever Learning Center (RLC). To ensure everyone's safety and allow for construction, the building will be closed for use on Saturday, October 7. The card swipe to the atrium and RLC will be deactivated at 5 a.m. on October 7, and will be reactivated at 6:30 p.m. The rest of the library and gallery building will remain closed until regular hours (noon to midnight) resume on Sunday, October 8.

We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but the closure is necessary to complete the construction work. Signage on the RLC and library and gallery doors will serve as reminders for the upcoming work.
