The Glencoe Public Library could be headed toward a major renovation as the board has retailed a Chicago-based architectural firm for a space needs assessment. The Glencoe Public Library Board has taken another step toward its building renovation by retaining a prominent architectural firm to create a master space plan.
SOM is a familiar name in the architecture community, having worked on many high-profile Chicago projects. The group has also designed several libraries across the country. It was selected from a pool of 15 firms who submitted responses to a request for qualifications issued by the library. He believed the space assessment would give the board and staff a better idea on the size and scope of any potential renovation including design, planning and cost estimates. There are currently three scenario options for the renovation.
“For any project, we want to preserve as many of the historical elements of this building as possible. We recognize that is our motif and our design,” he said. “We know the community is very happy with how the building looks.” Kim noted said the board does not have a “strong appetite” to put a bond sale referendum in front of the voters.
