Christiansburg Library Renovations

Total Project Cost: $9.5M Project Status: New Project

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The renovation and expansion of Christiansburg Library will increase square footage from 15,001 to 31,954 and provide a modern, flexible platform for library service to residents of Christiansburg and surrounding communities. The current 35 year old facility is no longer adequate and its systems are dated and frequently fail. The new Christiansburg Library will be a community resource and an anchor for activity, education, and culture in the downtown Christiansburg area.

Christiansburg Library serves as the primary library for Christiansburg as well as the Riner and Pilot communities. The service area population of Christiansburg is 37,424 (Census 2020). Christiansburg Library also houses Montgomery Floyd Regional Library’s administrative and technical services operations. The current Christiansburg Library was built in 1986 and is 15,100 square feet in area, with 1600 square feet devoted to the administrative/technical services staff and operations. From 2015-2019, Christiansburg served an average of 124,905 visitors annually with 201,721 items loaned.

The renovation of the Christiansburg Library facility will provide a durable and modern building ready for decades of public use. A renovated facility will accommodate growth in demand and population, emerging library services such as maker and robotics labs, children’s STEM area, media lab, a computer classroom, and RFID materials management; it would also meet patron’s current expectations for public internet access, study/telemedicine spaces, community meeting spaces, teen services, children’s programming, excellent library collections, and high-quality in person service.
