University of Alabama McLure Library reopens following ‘extensive renovations’

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (WHNT) — The University of Alabama announced Tuesday that the McLure Library was reopened following renovations to provide additional space and renovations.

UA said that, a century after its original construction, McLure Library reopened to offer a new home for the School of Library and Information Studies and better serve the College of Education.

Renovations started in the fall of 2023.

The University said two noticeable changes are the addition on the west side of the building near Stadium Drive and the updated plaza between McLure and Autherine Lucy Hall. Also, a new entrance structure, elevator and other modifications were added to allow for better ADA access throughout the building.

McLure now houses the School of Library and Information Studies. Part of the College of Communications and Information Sciences, the relocation offers state-of-the-art learning labs, classrooms, office space and will enhance program visibility.
