Changes Ahead!
March 25, 2025
Steelcase Library, in DeVos Center Building A, will be transforming its service offerings to start in Fall 2025. This transformation will require the temporary closure of the Steelcase Library and Curriculum Materials Library space to public users beginning April 26. Replenish will no longer be available at this library location after April 23, 2025.
Fall 2025
Starting in Fall 2025 the Steelcase Library Space will include:
- A Universal Testing Center
- A Psychology laboratory
- Expanded partnership and presence of the Knowledge Market and Tutoring Services
- Individual or group study pods
The library will continue to provide these services:
- Access to the Steelcase Library collections
- Pickup location for library holds, Document Delivery requests, and Course Reserve materials.
- Curriculum Materials Library
- Digital Creator Lab equipment and laptop checkout
- Quiet reading room
- Collaboration zone for group work
Summer
Liaison librarians who work in Steelcase Library will be available for online contact and campus meetings. Permanent office locations are still being determined, but they will be in the DeVos Center on the Pew Campus. Liaison librarians will communicate their new location with the departments they serve when the locations are finalized.
We will still be able to access materials from the Steelcase Library but the turnaround may be slower. To ensure access to needed materials we recommend requesting any print or CML materials you may need for summer research during April. We are working with facilities to provide a Pew Campus pickup location. Pickups can also be done at Frey Foundation Learning Commons on the Health Campus, or at the Mary Idema Pew Library in Allendale.
The Mary Idema Pew Library in Allendale and the Frey Foundation Learning Commons in the DeVos Center for Interdisciplinary Health (DCIH) on the Health Campus will remain open.
