The McLennan-Redpath Library Complex is the focal point for two major parallel infrastructure projects — the new McGIll University Collections Centre and the Fiat Lux Project. The collections move and subsequent renovation work will nearly double space in the complex for students and create a vibrant library environment space that is accessible, comfortable, safe, and sustainable.
Visit this space often for the most up-to-date information on both initiatives.
