12.10.21 The City held three community workshops with the Master Architect team. The sessions were focused on the preliminary design of the new library and overall site program for the Library Mixed-Use Project, including the exterior façade of the library, site plan, rooftop plan, initial floor plans, and parking and housing unit counts.
The proposed design increases the 100 percent affordable housing units to as many as 125, which is two and a half times more than the Council mandate for the project. The new Library, which faces Cedar St., and will include 40,000 square feet of programmable space – 35,000 square feet indoors and a 5,000 square foot roof deck that connects to the upper floor of the library.
The Library will be adjacent to five stories of affordable housing situated on top of three stories of parking. The proposed number of parking spaces has been reduced to 310 from 400, a reduction which allowed for additional affordable housing units. The project also includes space intended for a ground-floor daycare center, as well as commercial space on the corner of Cathcart and Cedar Streets.
