Background:

After several years of planning, the Howard Ross Library of Management will undergo a complete renovation beginning in January 2011. This overhaul of the entire second floor of the Bronfman building, co-sponsored by the 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Library and the Desautels Faculty of Management, will provide 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ students, faculty, staff, and community members with a completely renovated library combined with vibrant teaching and learning spaces and a 60-seat Trading Centre.

The new Business Intelligence Centre will double the Library’s seating capacity, increase the number of wired study spaces, and provide 8 dedicated group study rooms. The Desautels Faculty will construct a live data trading centre, a conference room, and a Trading Research Lab, which will accommodate the needs of its new undergraduate and graduate programs in investment management. The project is being designed by the Montreal architectural firm .

To ensure ongoing library services to the Howard Ross Library clients, a temporary service point will be set up on the 4th floor of the Bronfman building. This space, due to open in January 2011, will house the information and reserve loans services; the Howard Ross recently received journals, newspapers, and reference collections; as well as the popular Bloomberg and Datastream stations. The Howard Ross print collections will move temporarily to the 4th floor of the Humanities and Social Sciences Library (McLennan building).
