For the past year, Olin and Uris have gone through other renovations. In January, Uris Library’s 24-hour study space the Cocktail Lounge closed to undergo major renovations in seating, lighting, bathrooms and technology. The study space reopened in August. This had been the first time in 17 years that the Cocktail Lounge had a significant makeover.
Olin Library’s terrace, famous for its musical rocks and views of the Arts Quad, will be closed until spring as the University manages a series of leaks and maintenance updates to the 58-year-old building.
