Background: RFP and Competing Proposals

The Madison Public Library has updated its website to include links to the Request for Proposals, and full copies of the responses by both teams - including floor plans and qualifications.

Planning for the Future: Central Library

The site also addresses the reasons that a new library is needed, and describes the functional obsolescence of the existing library building.

Both development teams presented their proposals and vision for a new Central Library at a joint public hearing of the Library Board and the Central Library Surplus Property Criteria and Selection Committee (yes, that is truly its name... otherwise known as "the Disposal Committee") on January 8, 2009. It was filmed for broadcast by Madison City Channel - and you can watch it stream online here.
