32. TRANSACTION TO
TRANSFORMATION

33. TRANSACTION TO
TRANSFORMATION
…we recognize today that the focus of excellent library design should be to
delight users, not to warehouse objects. This simple guiding principle
creates boundless opportunities for architects and librarians to create
inspirational centers of learning. In addition to providing shelves of books,
libraries today must, at a minimum, provide those catalysts of curiosity that
engage the mind and uplift the spirit: natural light, ubiquitous but largely
invisible technology and a variety of spaces flexibly designed for
independent study or collaboration.

34. DESIGN/BUILD SELECTION
PROCESS
• Request for Proposals (RFP) for Design/Build
services issued in early 2018
• Library will hold a pre-proposal conference to
respond to questions from prospective bidders
• Short list of finalists will be asked to make
presentations to a library panel
• Two community members (selected by
Councilmember McDuffie) will serve as advisory
members on panel
• Winners will be notified after which Board of
Trustees and City Council must approve contract

35. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
• Library works with Friends leadership to schedule
a tour of several libraries
• Surveys and Focus groups
• Approximately Five Community Meetings During
Concept and Schematic Design Phases
• Regulatory review from Commission of Fine Arts
and Advisory Neighborhood Commission
• Review from local civic associations
• Online engagement at:
www.dclibrary.org/newlamondriggs

36. NEXT STEPS / STAYING
CONNECTED
• Library & Friends leadership will coordinate tour
• Website and surveys will be available at
www.dclibrary.org/newlamondriggs
• Library will work with CM McDuffie to identify
advisory members for Design/Build team selection
panel
