On this day, the main entrance will be opened and equipped with security gates and the first floor entrance across from Needles Hall will be closed shortly thereafter. The Research Help and Circulation Desks will move from the first floor into the new space and this will also be the opening date for the Graphics Copy Centre and Browsers Cafe.
