Type of Project
The 21st Century Library for a vibrant city.
The role of a community library continues to evolve. Without enough square footage, programs compete for space on a weekly basis, preventing the Library from meeting public demand.
THE SOLUTION
After a full examination of other options, Library officials determined the most cost-effective solution is a $55 million renovation and expansion of the current building. RPL is exploring funding options through City of Rochester, Olmsted County, Destination Medical Center (DMC), and philanthropic gifts from foundations, corporations, and individuals.
• Provide a Youth Floor for children and teens.
• Utilize flexible and balanced (quiet/loud) space for programming, collaboration, and engagement.
• Connect varied generations, ability levels, and cultures in new ways.
• Strengthen the community with information and technology.
• Spark imagination and innovation through new opportunities.
