16 GROUP 4 ARCHITECTURE TAB 1 STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS — RELEVANT EXPERIENCEMAIN LIBRARY REVITALIZATION <br />DAYTON OH <br />The original Main Library in Dayton, Ohio was a dark, inwardly- <br />focused mid-century modern structure. Group 4’s design <br />gutted the interior of the former building doubled its size with <br />a new, three-story wing. The expanded library is the flagship <br />of the Dayton Metro Library system — a new landmark and <br />community destination at the intersection of the downtown <br />commercial core and cultural district. <br />The revitalized building fully integrates into its downtown <br />context and embraces the adjacent park. The old building <br />and new wing are connected by a stunning three-story, light- <br />filled atrium criss-crossed by bridges that provide places of <br />engagement and collaboration. The existing underground <br />floors were converted to parking, and the public and operations <br />functions were moved up into the light. <br />Destination features of the expanded Main Library include <br />more than 30 spaces for gathering and collaboration, ranging <br />in capacity from four to 400 people. The black box theater and <br />multi-configurable forum support creative and performing arts <br />as well as large library and community programs. The library <br />has become a destination for weddings, concerts, cultural <br />events, and other community gatherings and celebrations. <br />Group 4’s AOR partner for the Main Library project was LWC <br />Inc. The project received an Honor Award from AIA Dayton <br />Chapter. <br />COMPLETED 2017 <br />PROJECT TEAM <br />David Schnee, Design Director <br />Andrea Gifford, Director of Interiors <br />Jonathan Hartman, Consulting Principal <br />CLIENT CONTACT <br />Tim Kambitsch <br />Executive Director (retired) <br />Dayton Metro Library <br />(937) 901-8477 <br />tkambitsch@gmail.com <br />EXHIBIT C - PROPOSAL
