15 GROUP 4 ARCHITECTURE TAB 1 STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS — RELEVANT EXPERIENCEGEORGINA COLE LIBRARY RENOVATION <br />CARLSBAD CA <br />The City of Carlsbad commissioned Group 4 to renovate two <br />of its three libraries to modernize library service, improve <br />operations, and freshen the library experience while preserving <br />the desirable qualities of the two buildings. <br />The 24,000 SF Georgina Cole Library, located next to City Hall, <br />was built in 1967. The design introduced a variety of new spaces <br />for collaborative work, community meeting and gathering, and <br />expanded programs almost entirely within the mid-century <br />building’s existing walls. <br />Group 4’s redesign capped the central courtyard and <br />incorporated it into a contiguous library interior. This dramatically <br />opened up the inside of the library, improved circulation and <br />wayfinding, and established stronger connections between <br />the two floors. Modernization included reconfiguration of <br />technology and stacks as well as replacement of furniture, <br />finishes, and carpets. <br />The project also addressed lifecycle maintenance and <br />accessibility upgrades, including exterior repairs, ADA <br />improvements, and modern mechanical, low voltage, and fire <br />prevention systems. <br />COMPLETED 2016 <br />PROJECT TEAM <br />Jonathan Hartman, Principal Architect <br />Andrea Gifford, Principal Designer <br />David Schnee, Design Director <br />CLIENT CONTACT <br />Patrick McGarry <br />Project Director, Red Brick Consulting <br />(Former Civic Projects Manager, <br />City of Carlsbad) <br />(760) 802-4521 <br />EXHIBIT C - PROPOSAL
