Modernizing Milne: Opportunities for Collaboration and Community

Our beloved Milne Library renovation is nearly complete. The library is the heart of our campus, and the reimagined Milne will be equipped with group and individual study spaces featuring gorgeous views of the Genesee Valley. The building will offer several large gathering spaces for speakers, classes, and events and will be outfitted with state-of-the-art technology. The library is on track to open during the 2024-25 academic year.

Highlights of the renovation include:

  • Large windows with beautiful views of the Genesee Valley
  • Increased seating throughout the library
  • Group study rooms
  • A brand new events/multipurpose room for campus and community events
  • State-of-the-art technology
  • A new cafe serving a variety of food and beverages, plus improved traffic flow making it easier for students to grab meals on the go
  • New and improved lighting throughout the building
  • New second entrance
  • Beautiful covered patio
