We are pleased to announce the phased opening of the University Libraries in the Plass Learning Resources Center.
This means:
- Effective immediately (September 26, 2024), all Library services are being delivered in the Plass Library space.
- Effective immediately (September 26, 2024), no Library services are being delivered in the Mabee Library space.
- Currently in Plass, the University Library's main level (2nd floor), 3rd and 4th floors are open to all users.
- The University Archives and Special Collections are, in preparation for their move to 1st floor of the University Libraries in Plass, now closed to public users.
Work in the University Libraries in Plass is not yet 100% complete, so thank you in advance for your patience as areas see temporary closures. Nevertheless, the Library team is excited to welcome users into the new spaces that are all designed to further academic success at Washburn.

The University Library will have four floors in Plass: the first level is a quiet study space that also houses the Washburn University Archives and Special Collections, while the second floor is a mixed space that serves the Washburn Community as a learning commons – a space for faculty and students to engage one another and the world outside the formal classroom. The third level contains group study spaces and the Curriculum Resources Center, a space for aspiring Pre-K – 12 educators to access the information resources they need to prepare for becoming educators. The stacks are located on the fourth floor.
