New Learning Commons

The John Bassett Memorial Library is transforming into a Learning Commons! This dynamic, vibrant, and communal space (that celebrates the intersections between learning, technology, and creativity) will take our library into the 21st century to ensure our students have the best support to lead enriching and diverse lives -- at Bishop's and beyond.

The new Learning Commons opens in September 2018; in the next 18 months you will see the library go through a transformative process to enhance how we best create spaces for knowledge production, knowledge sharing, and knowledge mobilization.

Throughout this process we will maintain open channels of communication with students, staff, faculty and members of the community.

This event page will serve as the main conduit of communication amongst the stakeholders.

From time-to-time, we will seek out your opinions on design and furnishing decisions and we will keep you updated on the progress of the library renovations.
