City staff say library expansion design near final; structural checks remain
Summary
Mount Shasta staff told council architects have completed nearly final plans for a proposed library renovation and expansion; the consultant architect visited the library to review fixtures and layout, but staff said structural-engineering clarifications and test excavations will be needed before final construction drawings are issued.
City staff told the council on May 12 that Noland Tam Architects of Berkeley is finalizing plans for a long‑discussed library renovation and expansion and has visited the library to check fixtures and space layouts.
Staff said the architects reviewed details such as sink locations and other operational elements with library staff. A structural‑engineering clarification prompted staff to say the city will avoid cutting joists or digging test holes directly; instead, staff asked the architect to prepare drawings of the expected existing conditions, then “truth‑test” those assumptions in the field before printing final construction drawings.
Staff reported the project is continuing to advance and remains on track, pending the structural verification work. No formal action or additional funding decisions for the library expansion were taken at the meeting.
Ending note: Staff invited council questions and said they will return with final plan sets once structural verifications are complete.
