BRANCH
LIBRARIES
Braintree, MA
This project for the
Thayer Public Library includes a Capital Needs Assessment for two branch
libraries. A new main library was opened in 1998.
This project is to determine the short and long term costs anticipated to improve the two branch Libraries or whether maintaining both branches is viable.
Our scope of work
includes a physical investigation of the existing buildings, review of
available documents, determination of recommended improvements, and cost
estimates.
The two branches are very diverse. The Watson Park branch is a contemporary
building constructed in the 1960's as a library. It is a high quality
building in good condition. The highland branch was constructed as a house
in the 1850's. The building was moved to its present site in 1980 and
converted into a library
