4th Floor Renovation

Our 4th floor reading room is currently closed – we’re renovating it to serve you better! Stay tuned for updates and sneak peeks as we bring this vision to life. We can’t wait to welcome you into the new space in Spring 2026.

CECH Library is still open! While our 4th floor reading room is temporarily closed for renovation, the rest of CECH Library is fully open and ready to support you. Enter via our main entrance on level 3. Visit our website for the most up-to-date listing of CECH Library hours.

We look forward to welcoming users back into the space in spring 2026. Stay tuned for updates.

The books and journals in the CECH Library’s 4th floor reading room are currently offsite in a university-owned storage facility. To place a request for these (or any) UC Libraries materials, locate the item in OneSearch, the big search bar on the UC Libraries website.

To place a hold for our 4th floor items (or any UC Libraries materials) use OneSearch, the big search bar on the UC Libraries website. For detailed steps on requesting library materials, see the How do I place an item on hold? article in the CECH OITLD Knowledge Base or contact any member of the CECH Library team at cechlibrary@uc.edu

  • Reconfigured layout for enhanced study, collaboration, and events
  • Modern study tables with integrated power and lighting
  • Comfortable seating, refreshed study room, new carpet, and paint
  • A thoughtful blend of modern design and the existing classic architectural elements

We hope you want to study with us in the CECH Library main floor (level 3) which boasts more than 125 seats for group and individual study.

If you have additional questions or concerns related to this project, feel free to reach out to any member of the CECH Library team, or contact Katie Foran-Mulcahy, CECH Library Head.
