Space-Needs Assessment At Carnegie-Stout Public Library

An ongoing space-needs assessment at Carnegie-Stout Public Library could determine whether the facility needs future renovations or additions. In June, the Carnegie-Stout Public Library hired FEH Design for $40,000 to conduct an assessment to analyze current space use, collection sizes, program needs and other factors of the facility and determine if improvements are needed in the short term, along with what expected enhancements will be required in the next 10 to 20 years. Library Director Nick Rossman said the completed space-needs assessment could include recommendations as small as moving some parts of the library to as large as major renovations to the building.
