This project represents a significant opportunity to upgrade this <br />cherished building for 21st century library service while restoring its original character and <br />strengthening its links to Santa Ana’s community history. <br />The Group 4 team brings decades of design experience with forward-looking, beautiful, <br />and sustainable community projects – including modern libraries in historic mid-century <br />structures. Recent examples include our award-winning restoration and sensitive expansion <br />of Palo Alto’s historic Main Library; our revitalization of the Georgina Cole Library in <br />Carlsbad; and our expansion of Dayton’s original Main Library into a 21st century <br />destination for culture, creativity, and community. In each case, our designs preserve and <br />celebrate the character of the original buildings while providing vibrant, flexible, and <br />technology-rich spaces for 21st century library programming. <br />Our proposed Group 4 key personnel collaborated on each of these and other relevant <br />projects such as the multiple award-winning Yorba Linda Library and Cultural Arts Center. <br />Principal-in-charge David Schnee has led the design of dozens of library design projects <br />nationwide, and will ensure that City, Library, and community goals are realized. Andrea <br />Gifford will bring her deep understanding of libraries and great sense of style to the <br />conceptual design and interior transformations. Orange County native Jonathan Hartman <br />will oversee the technical integration of modernized infrastructure and proven sustainable <br />design strategies with sensitive restoration of the building’s character-defining features. <br />We are also pleased to propose a talented and experienced team of engineers and specialty <br />consultants for the Santa Ana Library renovation project. Consulting preservation <br />architects Page & Turnbull bring unparalleled experience with historic structures, <br />including the Old Orange County Courthouse in Santa Ana and the transformation of <br />Riverside’s original mid-century Main Library into a new museum. <br />Luci Creative utilizes an amazing experiential design approach that will bring to SAPL <br />next generation children’s library spaces. Their custom installations for Group 4’s Spokane <br />Central Library and branches celebrate local cultures and landmarks with constructive, <br />imaginative, and large motor play. <br />EXHIBIT C - PROPOSAL
