Connected by the waters flowing through Minneapolis south to New
Orleans, as well as a strong commitment to quality library design and
construction, Meyer, Scheer & Rockcastle (MS&R) and the New Orleans
Public Library unveiled the master plan for the rebuilding the library
system. At a festive press conference
during PLA, representatives from the library and MS&R outlined how the New
Orleans Public Library System plans to renew itself. The master plan recommends repairs, renovation,
and new construction that will create a world-class library system – not merely
to replace what flooding destroyed. The
proposed total capital cost for the new and renovated branch libraries in 2008
dollars is $199,211,191. The press release offers additional details.
