Hatcher spring/summer construction closures

July 2, 2025

Several areas in the Hatcher Library will be closed for building infrastructure updates over the summer months. 

Hatcher north entrance

With the Diag blocked off for brick work, you may not be able to tell that the entrance to Hatcher is open and will remain open.

The east entrance ramp off the Diag is being rebuilt to make it accessible, and some repair work is being done on the west ramp. 

There will be periods where both ramps are closed but the steps remain available. And there will be periods where the steps are closed and you must use a ramp. Follow the detour signs, and please go around the building to use the accessible south entrance as needed.

Hatcher south entrance

The south entrance, which faces the Clements Library, will have doors replaced starting around July 21, which will take 2-3 weeks. There will be a temporary entrance available.

Hatcher/Shapiro connector

Through July 31
Expect sporadic construction work on the connecting hall between Hatcher and Shapiro. The full connector closure is over.

Hatcher south tower

Window replacement work impacting public spaces is complete as of July 7, though work continues in nonpublic spaces.
