57 <br />District of Columbia Public Library <br />Library Standards <br />PROJECT TEAM <br />In 2008, the District of Columbia Public Library (DCPL) commissioned <br />Freelon <br />Freelon to create a document which would contain their desired standards <br />for fixtures, furnishings, and equipment to be used in all new and renovated <br />LOCATION <br />Washington, NC <br />Public Libraries in Washington, D.C. With plans to build and renovate <br />g <br />numerous libraries in the near future, it was beneficial to "standardize" <br />CLIENT CONTACT <br />Ginnie Cooper <br />products in the buildings to allow for ease of maintenance and service. The <br />Chief Librarian <br />standardization also enables the relocation of items between branches as <br />DC Public Libraries <br />ginnie.cooper@dc.gov <br />the need arises. <br />T202.727.0321 <br />In addition to easing maintenance and flexibility issues, the Library <br />SIZE <br />Standards supplements the design program for future projects. Through <br />N/A <br />identification of components within the building, they help reduce the time <br />COST <br />required to select and review fixtures, furnishings, and equipment in each of <br />Not Disclosed <br />the branches. <br />OCCUPANCY DATE <br />N/A <br />While specific items are listed in the document, the Library will be consulted <br />MAIN PROGRAM ELEMENTS <br />to confirm that none of these items have changed or been modified. If <br />N/A <br />questions arise or if products need to be changed based on specific <br />projects, those are brought to the Library for consideration. The Fixtures, <br />Furnishings, and Equipment Standards is intended to be a living and <br />evolving document. The initial selections that are included in the document <br />represent the DCPL's desires and intent during the design and construction <br />of the first round of library projects. As those projects are completed, <br />occupied, and used, items within this document will likely need to be <br />revised and adjusted. Moreover, as new products are introduced and others <br />discontinued, it will be necessary to revisit, update, and revise items within <br />the document in order for it to remain current. <br />22 F REELON i Southern Branch Library Facilitator Proposal <br />
