Building info

 At last night's Building Committee meeting, the decision was made to keep the drive-up window in the northeast corner as originally conceived.  The front door will stay in the northwest corner (under the word "Library").  We expect to heat and cool the facility with about 70 geothermal wells and the equipment to make that necessary will be housed in a small basement, which frees up enough space on the first floor to fit in Doug's office someplace on that level, instead of the architect's proposed 'hiding in a corner office on the top floor.'  The staircases are visible in the center and the double elevator is just to the right of the stairs.  Circ. Desk will be on the left half-way back through the building beyond the stairs. Browsing and New Books all along the front first floor.  Adult book collection plus ref. staff on second floor, along with access to the rooftop one-story section shown on the left.  Children will have most of the third floor and Teen also on third floor, right front quarter of the building.

More architectural design details will be filled in to the draft image during upcoming months.
