UPEI 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 UPEI 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 UPEI? Why did you choose to study here?
I’m from Souris, Prince Edward Island, and I came to UPEI 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.
