Library to meet architect

With the aim to start construction next spring, the building committee for the Fort Frances Public Library and Technology Centre will meet with project architect John Knox this Wednesday (Aug. 20) to take another look at the plans.
“At the meeting, we expect to finalize the footprint,” said library board chair Joyce Cunningham.

“The committee members will evaluate the current floor plan, which has been reduced from 17,000 sq. ft. to 13,770 sq. ft., and make any fine-tuning changes that are required,” she added.
“The committee, along with the architect, will create a new timeline schedule,” Cunningham continued. “We fully expect that the architect will be able to make any required revisions to the drawings in early fall and we can then proceed to tender in January of 2009.
“This timeline will enable construction to begin in early spring of 2009.”
Cunningham noted the floor plan for the library design presented to town council back in April currently is on display at the library.
Anyone with questions or comments about the design or the plans is encouraged to contact Cunningham at 274-9248.
