The
Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System will break ground on the new Alpharetta
Library Tuesday, March 25 at 11:00 a.m. and we'd love to see you there!
The new 25,000-square-foot library for Alpharetta is part of
Phase I of the Library Building Program, currently underway. The library
will be located in the Alpharetta City Center project in downtown Alpharetta, near
the corner of Haynes Bridge Road and Thompson Street.
Cooper Carry, in association with Vines Architecture, is contracted
with Fulton County to provide design and engineering services for the new
library. Peter R. Brown/Moss Construction, Inc., is contracted to provide
construction management services on this project, and Heery/Russell is the
program management team.
The grand opening of the Alpharetta Library is expected in
the 2nd quarter of 2015.
In November 2008, Fulton County voters overwhelmingly passed
the Library Bond Referendum. The plan will greatly enhance all of the county’s
libraries, and includes:
- 8 New Branch Libraries: Alpharetta, East Roswell, Milton, Northwest Atlanta, Palmetto, Southeast Atlanta, Stewart-Lakewood and Wolf Creek.
- Two expansion projects: Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History and the South Fulton Library.
Green
building design and sustainability are priorities for these library building
projects, and the Library System expects to achieve LEED Silver on all of the
Phase I projects. Each library will reflect the culture
and interests of its community.
