Construction

Now more than ever, the care and feeding of library buildings, from historic to new, demands greater attention. With occupant health and safety in mind, common issues, such as cleaning, plumbing, or HVAC systems, take on new urgency. Many library directors and staff become facilities managers by default, with no formal training. Thi​s webinar offers a primer on building systems and issues, along with tools for preventive maintenance, energy assessments, optimizing ventilation and filtration, and more. Presenters share what they learned the hard way, in large and small libraries, so that you can be more prepared and self-assured.

This session covers options for the architect hiring process. It also discusses early planning for construction and the design process.

This webinar is a brief overview of the earliest steps in the process of planning for a facilities construction project. Basic facility needs forecasting, the construction process, and financing options will be covered. If you are preparing to start preparing for facilities planning, this program is for you!
