IRC Update: We are open!

IRC officially open as of 11:00 am this morning (11/5)!

• Yes, the roll top laminator is once again in working order.
• Yes, it is possible to color print from the second floor.
• Yes, all IRC collections are once again available.

Collections have been shelved, equipment checked, and resources returned to their home location.  Some areas are still a bit damp, you will notice a musty odor from the water, but a dehumidifier is in place to combat these elements.

Special thanks to Charity and the AU facilities team for their efforts removing the standing water and helping to get things ready for us to be open again. Thanks to IT for sending a technician to check our computers last week. And thanks for your patience; it takes to recover from ...

IRC Open Monday

The Instructional Resource Center will be closed the remainder of this week.  We anticipate reopening on Monday (11/5) afternoon once collections are shelved and furniture/resources restored to their correct locations.

Again, here are a few ideas if you need help with resources and supplies:

• Supplies: Visit the AU Bookstore for paper supplies such as poster board and construction paper.
• Color Printing: 200 Patterson has a print quota color printer.
• Color Printing: IT help desk is able to help if you need support with the 200 Lab color printer.
