Newport Public Library Addition and Alteration

Owners Representative, Project Management

The Challenge: minimize tree loss and damage during extensive site excavation and construction.

A city ordinance mandates “no net loss of trees” resulting from any construction on city property. Newport Public Library is located in a two-acre inner-city park containing numerous specimen trees over a hundred years old.

New Construction:

  • 20,000 sq. ft. addition – ADA compliant
  • Re-design/re-engineer the roof structure to streamline the building’s appearance.
  • Add clearstory windows at the roofline to capture natural light
  • Incorporate kitchen facilities and community meeting rooms

Renovations:

  • 20,000 sq. ft. – ADA compliant
  • Parking area reconstruction
  • Complete asbestos abatement

Project Value: $7.15 million
