Ebooks, Netflix, and Library Building Projects (Part 15, Bellaire City Library)


Behind The Scenes Of The Bellaire City Library Renovation Project.   (InstantnewsBellaire.com, 4/22/2011)

Excerpt: The renovation project started in January after city council approved an agreement with Gilbane Building Company for $257,000.

The project was delayed for six weeks after unforeseen structural problems were discovered on portions of the building during the mold remediation process. Council approved $45,428 to repair the problems.

Director of Facilities Management Karl Miller said Gilbane made up time by shifting to another part of the project while the structural problems were repaired.

“Gilbane was wonderful to juggle vendors and subs,” Miller said, adding that Gilbane helped expedite the project.

Some of the new features of the library include a new circulation desk, a new conference room and new bathrooms
