ROBERT DEWEY and Associates As-sociates was named out of about ten applicants for the million dollar project during a special library board meeting meet-ing last week in Farmington. With construction not set to begin until spring of 1981, plans must still be formulated a year or more in advance, library officials said, necessitating necessi-tating obtaining an architect. THE BOUNTIFUL firm was seen as having more library-related library-related experience and local ties by board members who had conducted extensive interviews in-terviews with nine firms, all "very qualified" according to Interim Librarian Sarah Beth Galloway. Personnel with Dewey and Associates worked on the Clark County-Las Vegas (Nev.), Public Library, a library in Moab, Grand County, and the Highland High School (Salt Lake City), media center, Mrs. Galloway said. In addition, the firm completed plans for the University of Utah Bookstore. WHILE THE architect has been retained, general project funding isn't anticipated an-ticipated until the fall of 1980 when county commission anticipate an-ticipate setting a mill levy for the facility's construction. It will tentatively be constructed construct-ed in Layton near the intersection inter-section of Wasatch Drive and Hawthorne, near the city's municipal center. The building will serve as a headquarters, replacing the overcrowded Farmington facility that will function as a regional branch. Processing and administrative offices will probably be located on the first floor of the Layton building with a general regional library for Layton area residents placed on the second level. Book capacity is projected at 80,000-100,000. Cost is projected at around $1 million, tb |
