South Piedmont Community College is in the final stages of its Library Learning Commons and Campus Store renovation project.
The library portion of the renovation is estimated to be completed by Sept. 20. The renovated library is expected to be open in January.
The Campus Store side of the project is scheduled for completion by Oct. 1.
Both the library and the Campus Store will be located in the Main Building on the Old Charlotte Highway, within the space once solely occupied by the library.
Construction on the new Campus Store – which will be operated in partnership with Barnes & Noble College – is moving forward quickly. The space is now fully constructed, with fresh paint and new millwork installed. A custom-manufactured carpet is scheduled to be installed in mid-September.
The store will provide textbooks, course materials, school supplies, and South Piedmont apparel and gear, offering a new level of convenience, service, and school spirit to students, faculty, and staff.
The library, meanwhile, will move into a refreshed space, bringing with it both exciting updates and familiar favorites. Students will enjoy brand-new carpet and updated shelving, along with the same study booths (affectionately known as “teacup chairs”), copy machine, and circulation desk they’ve come to rely on.
This shift marks an investment in creating a welcoming, modern environment where students can study, collaborate, and access the resources they need to succeed.
While renovations continue, the library is still temporarily housed within Main 3149, where students can continue checking out books and borrowing laptops. The Campus Store is temporarily located in the Braswell building in room 2406. Atlas Galmish is the campus store manager and can be contacted at agalmish@bncollege.com.
