The UCSF Kalmanovitz Library will reopen to the public upon completion of multiple renovation projects. We acknowledge that our reopening has been delayed several times due to supply chain issues and unforeseen construction issues, and we appreciate your continued patience and understanding.
The anticipated reopening to the public is late September/early October 2025.
Front Door Construction: As of August 4, 2025, the UCSF Kalmanovitz Library is undergoing a front door replacement. The library is open to UCSF ID badge holders during construction. Entry and exit are through the Hearst Reading Room. Anticipated completion is late September 2025.
The UCSF Library follows the timeline below as we reopen our spaces and in-person services. All services remain available and continue to be provided in person, remotely or by appointment.
Currently, only UCSF badge holders are granted access to library spaces.
