Brand Library Renovation FAQ
|
A community meeting was held at Brand Library on February 16, 2011.
Architects from Gruen Associates and Offenhauser/Mekeel Architects presented the current plans for the renovation and also answered questions from the audience.
Gruen Associates is a firm with 60 years of experience in the Los Angeles community. Their projects include Pasadena City College Shatford Library, Union Station, Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Hollywood Bowl, to name a few. They were chosen for their strong team of architects, historic preservationists, engineers, and interior designers with a wealth of experience in all areas of the project.
Gruen will work in partnership with Offenhauser/Mekeel Architects (OMA), an architectural firm specializing in architectural design in authentic styles. Built from a love of the Los Angeles region and an appreciation of historical achievements, OMA infuses beauty and strong design into preservation projects. Landmark projects in Los Angeles include Union Station, the California Science Center façade, the Armory Building, the downtown Broadway department store, UCLA's Clark Library, and the 1932 Olympic Swim Stadium and Clubhouse in Exposition Park.
The Brand Library renovation project will include a seismic upgrade, upgrades to the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, ADA upgrades, and a space utilization plan for the library.
