Consultant, architects present preliminary concept for library design
Despite a snowstorm that closed Cape Elizabeth schools, Town Hall and the library for the day, 18 residents ventured out to a community meeting at Town Hall March 2, 2009 to hear the consultant team of Himmel & Wilson, with their Casaccio
Architects partners, present an overview of their findings from an extensive library needs-assessment study begun in August 2008.
In addition, the consultants presented several preliminary design scenarios for the future of the Thomas Memorial Library, and responded to questions from the audience after their presentation.
On March 3, the consultants held charrette sessions all day at the library for people to come and discuss the preliminary plans, contribute ideas, and make suggestions for changes to the preliminary design concepts. Approximately 20 Cape citizens participated in these interactive and collaborative sessions.
Next steps include revising the initial preliminary design concepts for consideration by the Thomas Memorial Library Study Committee as a result of the input from the Cape Elizabeth community.
