Peoria, IL
The expansion of the Peoria Public Library’s Lincoln Branch has tripled the size of the original Carnegie Library, significantly enhancing library services for Peoria’s south side. The design incorporates a ‘living wall,’ serving as a natural barrier between the modern addition and the classical beauty of the historic Carnegie Library. The new space accommodates expanded technology services and an enlarged book collection, while the Carnegie Library’s interior has been thoughtfully renovated to include spacious study areas and restore many of its original architectural elements, honoring its status as a historic landmark.
“During the past three years, I have worked on almost a daily basis with River City Construction the Construction Manager at Risk for our $28 million dollar construction program for the Peoria Public Library. We had five complicated projects at five separate locations; these projects came in on time and within budget – quite an accomplishment for our taxpayers. These were five different and distinct projects with each having unique challenges River City Construction guided the Peoria Public Library Board to an exceptionally successful result.”
