Architectural_Design_Plans_&_Renderings_for_ELCL_Expansion.pptx

This architectural design document contains preliminary renderings and floor plans for the East Lake Community Library Phase II Expansion/Renovation project under the jurisdiction of Pinellas County, Florida. The project encompasses an approximately 8,000 square-foot addition to the existing library facility located at 4125 East Lake Road, Palm Harbor, Florida 34685. The ground floor addition will add approximately 3,650 square feet to the east end of the existing building, while the second floor addition will contribute approximately 4,350 square feet constructed above the new ground floor and over a portion of the existing 2017 structure. Key design features include an early childhood area on the first floor, a bank of study rooms for private study and tutoring, and an enlarged teen room with an emergency exit. The site plan incorporates expanded parking in the southeast corner and bioretention areas for green stormwater infrastructure on the south side of the library. Additional design considerations presented include a potential two-level parking garage, solar panels for energy cost reduction, and provisions for the library to serve as a disaster relief center with backup generator capabilities.

The document presents preliminary architectural renderings and floor plans as part of the design phase for this expansion project. The Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners, through its Construction and Property Management Department Construction Services Division, is seeking a qualified and licensed Construction Manager at Risk to execute the project. The selected contractor will assume responsibility for all labor, materials, equipment, coordination, scheduling, subcontractor management, and construction activities necessary to complete the addition in accordance with county plans, specifications, and applicable building codes. The document was prepared with input from Lois Eannel, Library Director, and Anne Maire Nurnberger, Assistant Director, indicating internal stakeholder engagement in the design process.
