Link to August 9 LPA blog, "The Re-Birth of the Santa Fe Springs Library".
Excerpt: In 2007 the City of Santa Fe Springs hired LPA to renovate the library. Everything had changed from 1961: technology, energy efficiency, demographics. While the City was unsuccessful in obtaining Library Grant Funds from the state in 2004, they were determined to give their citizens a better tool for learning. There were, however, a few constraints.
We could not add square footage.
We could not change the exterior.
We could not go over the budget.
And since the majority of the City Council had gone to the library as children and teens, we needed to ‘weave the new with the familiar’ in order to have their blessing, and their votes.
Not a problem. LPA’s expert library design team of Rick D’Amato and Chris Lentz had done this before.
