-4 _& <br />JEROME PARK OUTDOOR LIBRARY <br />So much more than a park or a library <br />PlaceWorks is currently working with the City of Santa Ana to develop <br />its first outdoor library. Anchored by a library vending machine, the <br />outdoor library will include public space for residents to recreate, learn, <br />and play. The city's vision includes a multidisciplinary space that can host <br />programs and events and also serve as a educational space for children <br />and adults. Working with grant funding from the COVID-19 relief program, <br />PlaceWorks is developing design concepts that creatively embrace that <br />vision within the budget of the grant program with focused attention on <br />implementation to complete the project within the proposed schedule. <br />Working within an existing park, the PlaceWorks team is carefully <br />examining existing conditions to create a design that integrates seamlessly <br />with the park and maintains key park assets, like existing shade trees. The <br />team is also conducting a tailored outreach program focused on reaching <br />out to the local community and nearby residents, including working with <br />high school students in the leadership group at KidWorks, a local non- <br />profit focused on youth development. <br />The PlaceWorks team developed two conceptual alternatives based on <br />different themes and offering differing site aesthetics. The project team <br />is currently working with the community and the City to evaluate these <br />designs and move to a preferred concept. After finalizing the preferred <br />concepts, the team will develop full construction documents with plans, <br />specifications, and estimates, and will support the City with construction <br />administration. <br />Location <br />Santa Ana, California <br />Size <br />2 acres <br />Client <br />City of Santa Ana <br />Date Completed <br />Ongoing <br />Services Provided <br />Landscape Architecture, Community <br />Engagement <br />Return to Proposal page 1-17 <br />10 PLACEWORKS A-55 <br />
