Title

Eastlake High School Library Rehabilitation Project

Description

The proposed project involves rehabilitating the interior of an existing library building. Interior work includes modernizing the library bathrooms by replacing flooring, toilets, and fixtures while maintaining the existing layout. Classrooms would receive new paint and carpet tiles, along with upgraded audio/visual equipment and electrical systems. A new 378 sq ft storage room would be constructed with shelving to accommodate over 22,000 books. Additional permanent and movable shelving for 12,005 more books would be installed throughout the library. Existing interior security gates and electrical components would be demolished. Exterior rehabilitation work consists of installing new ADA-compliant double doors and windows, demolishing the chain link fence around the library perimeter, and expanding walkways with a new concrete ADA ramp at the southwest corner. Landscaping with groundcover and shrubs would be added along the expanded walkway edges. New windows would be installed and painted throughout the exterior and interior of the library and existing windows would be cleaned and painted. The existing 19-space parking lot south of the main entrance (parking lot 1) would be reconfigured by adding 22 new spaces in separate north and south expansions, as well as 2 EV charging stations and a 4-foot offloading area. The total parking spaces would be 41. Site circulation and access driveways would remain unchanged. Additional site work includes replacing the existing landscaping and irrigation along the street frontages of Eastlake Parkway and at the main entrance median. Pine trees would be preserved, 36 other trees would be removed. New features include rock and cobble mulch, decorative boulders, decomposed granite around the flagpole area, and new planters throughout the landscaping. The existing marquee sign at the front would also be replaced with a new sign of similar size and shape and would be light-emitting diode (LED) based digital sign. Electrical equipment would be removed and/or relocated as needed. Construction of the proposed improvements is tentatively scheduled to be implemented in June 2024 and is anticipated to last approximately 9 months, ending in February 2025. The proposed project would bring the school’s library facility and amenities up to current State and District standards, gain compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and benefit students and the surrounding community with improved access and upgraded school frontage.
