Christiansburg Library Improvements
Total Project Cost: $.4M Project Status: New Project
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project consists of the construction of an external door in the existing south wall of Christiansburg Library to the patio area outside; and also incorporation of outside alcove space into the inside of the building, with installation of two or three telemedicine/study rooms. This project has two parts: • During the COVID-19 pandemic, Montgomery Floyd Regional Library (MFRL) suspended inperson early literacy programming inside libraries to protect preschool and early elementary aged children from spreading the virus. This project will make more effective use of the Sheltman Street side of the library property, where there is currently a natural amphitheater, brick patio and some reading chairs for adults. Although this area is protected from traffic due to terrain, plantings, and distance, it is not easily accessible from inside the building, and therefore currently unsuitable for most children’s programming. A door in the building leading out to the patio area would increase the usefulness of the patio area, and provide an outdoor option for programming during times of high contagion in the community. • During the COVID-19 pandemic, community need for more private spaces to participate in telemedicine has grown. The second part of this project is to create at least two study rooms from the space currently used for the alcove area to the right of the front entryway. There is sufficient space for at least two study/telemedicine spaces, and some storage. The design of this space must ensure airflow and that spaces intended for public use can be routinely cleaned and disinfected.
