ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ kicks off Robertson Library renovations

When patrons walk into the Robertson Library’s lobby this fall, they will see a more welcoming space with new flooring, lighting, furniture, paint, millwork, stair banister, and signage, and renovated bathroom facilities.

About 80 people gathered in the lobby of the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ Robertson Library on May 1 to kick off the first phase of a renovation project designed to transform the building into a more modern, accessible, and inspiring space that will enrich the experience of students, faculty, and community members who rely on it as a vital hub for learning, research, and connection.

What brought you to ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´? Why did you choose to study here?

I’m from Souris, Prince Edward Island, and I came to ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ specifically for the Paramedicine degree program. After working as a paramedic for over 15 years, I reached a point where I wanted to explore new roles in the profession—roles beyond traditional ambulance work. I was interested in leadership, management, and corporate opportunities within paramedicine, but I knew I needed a strong academic foundation to move in that direction.
