Firm conducts library site study
By Stephen Maher
Of tHr tlmaraM
Four downtown-area sites are
under consideration as the loca
tion for a new Eugene Public
Library, according to a site
study released by the archi
tectural firm ol
Robert son/Sherwood
One of the locations under
consideration is the present
library at 100 W. 11th Ave. if
that site is chosen, the building
would be expanded and a park
ing garage built across the
street.
The other sites under con
sideration are a city-owned
parking lot on Eighth Avenue
between Willamette and Olive
streets, a city-owned parking lot
on Broadway Avenue between
Charnelton and Lincoln streets,
and a half-block on Olive Street
la-tween 10th and lllh avenues.
According to the firm's study,
the site on Eighth Avenue bet
w«*tn Willamette and Olive
streets would cost b e -
tween $1 and $(> million less
than the other locations, with
an estimated price tag of $18.8
million. Savings would come
from using the Pervade parking
garage across the street. All the
other sites would require the
construction of new parking
garages.
Expanding the present library
would cost $21.7 million, the
firm's study stated The Broad
way site would cost $24.5
million and the Olive Street site
would cost $24.8 million.
Assistant Librarian Carol
Hildebrand said Wednesday
that it would be easier to move
to a new location than to ex
pand the present library.
"This building has asbestos
in the ceilings on two floors,"
Hildebrand said. "That has to
Ik* removed and that is a very
expensive, troublesome and
time-consuming project that I'm
sum would require that we
move out entirely for two or
three months while it is being
done.
"The other thing is that we
can't put any collection on the
top floor We don't have any
books up there because they
didn't build the top floor strong
enough to do that," she said.
The study estimated it would
cost $600,000 to remove the
asbestos ceiling material
The Robertson/Sherwood site
study will be presented to the
Future of Our Library Commit
tee today. The committee will
receive input from the public at
meetings scheduled July 28 and
August 20. and then will make a
recommendation on size, loca
tion. building design re
quirements and financing to the
Eugene City Council. A bond
election is expected sometime
in 1988
“We will undoubtedly need
to go to the community for sup
port for the funding. The city
does not have the money to
build a building now. They took
from existing revenues to help
with the airport. They can't do
that again." Hildebrand said.
If voters approve funding for
a new library, the building
would probably not be open to
the public until mid-1990,
Hildebrand said.
The site study was completed
after the City Council adopted a
committee report last
December The report called for
the expansion to a two- to four
story building with 90.000 to
120.000 square feet and im
plementation of a branch library
system within five years of con
struction of a new library. The
present library has 37,000
square feet.
The present library was built
in 1959. Since that time
Eugene's population has grown
from 50,000 to 1 (Hi.000 Accor
ding to the committee's report,
the library is the second most
used city facility behind
Mahlon Sweet Airport. About
400.000 visits are made to the
library by users each year.
