Comment on Logical to Use Existing Site for Addition to Nassau County Library in Fernandina by dldtorre@comcast.net

Actually Ed there have been several studies done in the past several years that would dispute your assumptions on costs. The existing building would have to be gutted–major issues with plumbing, electrical, roof, AC etc due to the age of the building. The current wiring structure for technology has also reached capacity. The exterior structure of the existing building will not support a second floor so this option would mean building a new structure around the existing frame. So basically going out or going up are associated with costs similar to building a new structure (twice what retrofitting the other building would cost).

The initial examination of office building found that the building had the capacity for a fairly easy low cost transition to library space. Interior walls are easily removed, elevator in place, recent wiring that would be cost effective to upgrade etc.

Mark, would it be fair to say, as well, that a building designed as a library is probably easier to use as a library….if compared to a building designed as a bank with enclosed office space?

Ed, well said and honestly with some preliminary site studies I believe we could incorporate even a “building over parking” situation. Provide some nice shaded parking spaces for staff from the unforgiving Florida sun, incorporate a mansard roof and hide some solar panels behind it and a high efficiency air conditioning system. By doing a second story structure – yes, we are incurring the cost of an elevator but we are minimizing the site disruption to 4th Street. The higher vantage point could be used to give large expansive views of the downtown area from a Children’s library area. By incorporating higher efficiency systems, we can also take advantage of grants and energy incentives.
