News

Alumnae Gymnasium, 3rd floor study area

Published February 5, 2025

Due to a water leakage, Alumnae Gymnasium will be closed until further notice. Only Campus Safety, Facilities, and Library staff will have access to the building during this time. This includes the Knowledge Lab (AG202) on the second floor and all study spaces. Signs have been posted by all external entrances and the tunnel connecting Neilson Library to Alumnae Gym.

For the most up-to-date information on hours, please go to the hours page on the Libraries website. Campus will be notified once Alumnae Gym is open again.

Staff whose offices are located in Alumnae Gym will be working either offsite or in alternative spaces on campus during this time. Please email libraryhelp@smith.edu  with any questions.

Update February 13, 2025

  • Classes scheduled for the Knowledge Lab & the Experimental studio may resume in the building. Faculty using the Knowledge Lab and the Experimental Studio (AG111) for classes have been given access to the main entrance of Alumnae Gym and have been asked to escort their classes in and out of the building and only use those two spaces in the building.
  • Repair work on the 3rd floor is expected to begin next week. 
  • General access to the building is still restricted and will be restored when the repairs on floor 3 are completed.

Update March 3, 2025

Interior repair work continues this week. Once that is completed, items will be returned to offices and furniture to its original location. It is hoped the building will reopen in March.
