Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System’s Building Program Update
May 2013

The Library System is engaged in a $275 million building program, funded by a library bond referendum approved by Fulton County voters in 2008. The project is divided into two phases.

Phase I of the Library Building Program consists of 10 projects, 8 new libraries – Alpharetta, East Roswell, Milton, Northwest Atlanta, Palmetto, Southeast Atlanta, Stewart-Lakewood and Wolf Creek – and 2 expanded libraries – Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History and South Fulton – with a total budget of $167 million; these dollars include everything from design and construction to funding for collections.  

Follow Our Progress:
Below are the architectural and engineering teams as well as the sites that have been selected to date:


Alpharetta Branch

· Community input will continue to be an integral part of these projects.
· Green building design and sustainability are priorities for these projects; the Library System expects to achieve LEED Silver on all of the Phase I projects. 

Timeline
Design has begun on several of the projects, with construction to begin in late 2013 through 2014, and openings will begin in late 2014 and continue into 2015. Phase II consists of 23 renovated libraries and will begin upon the completion of Phase I.
