A major renovation of the McIntyre Medical Building’s HVAC infrastructure is underway. This project, funded through the Knowledge Infrastructure Program, involves extensive roof work directly above the Osler Library as well as a replacement of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems throughout the Library and the McIntyre Building.

In order to protect the Osler collection, the rare and circulating collections from the Osler Library of the History of Medicine will be relocated to a secure, environmentally controlled storage area. The Library and the collection will be inaccessible from April 1 to October 2014. Library users are encouraged to borrow circulating materials needed for research or teaching purposes and to request any rare materials prior to April 1^st. The requested rare items will be temporarily moved to ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Library’s Rare Books and Special Collections and made accessible to researchers in the reading room.

After April 1^st, material may be requested through Interlibrary Loans. Osler staff members will also help to find alternative material. Ìý

Please note that the Osler Library will continue to offer other services to researchers and students during the renovations, including reference and course support. Ìý
