See Designs for Future Library! at Bown Crossing
Southeast Boise residents will have an opportunity to review and comment on architectural designs for their future branch library this month, the Library! at Bown Crossing. Boise Public Library and the City of Boise have scheduled two open house design reviews at Riverside Elementary School, 2100 E. Victory Road. They'll be held on Tuesday, May 12, and Wednesday, May 13, from 4:00-7:00 p.m. in the school's cafeteria.

Attendees will be able to review design boards and discuss plans for the library with Library and City staff. They can expect to see architectural renderings of designs for the building exterior, including aerial and street-level views from several angles. A summary of sustainable features will also be available, such as features for efficient use of energy and water and the use of recycled and local materials.

Residents can also review designs and comment online at www.boisepubliclibrary.org, starting Monday, May 4, and running through Sunday, May 17.

The Bown Crossing library project is in the design development phase, with preliminary designs being fleshed out in more detail. The City expects to break ground in late 2015, and to open the library in late 2016.
