New Buildings Update

Bennett Branch Library

The first new Rangeview Library District branch will be built in the community of Bennett.  A 7,000 square foot structure will replace the current 2,000 square foot structure.  Construction is scheduled to begin mid summer.  Opening of the new library is planned for late spring 2009.  During construction the Bennett Library is planning for a temporary location to be announced soon.  

Brighton Branch Library

Groundbreaking for a 20,000 square foot library in Brighton is slated for late summer 2008.  The new structure will be built downtown at Bridge and 4th Streets.  It will replace the current 6,700 square foot structure which is severely under capacity for the demands of the growing Brighton community.  The education cultural complex is "visioned" to become a regional destination.

Huron Street Branch Library

The Huron Street Library will be a 25,000 square foot structure on the west side of Huron Street at 94th.  The site is already home to a park and bike trails.  The library is being designed to connect with the natural environment, including a children's park directly off the children's department.  Groundbreaking is slated for September 2008.  Plans to open the library are set for September of 2009.

Wright Farms Branch Library

The Wright Farms Branch Library will become Rangeview Library District's flagship library.  The 45,000 square foot structure will house a beautiful library and park, as well as the district's outreach and support services.  Located on 120th between Holly and Jasmine Streets, it is expected to open its doors in late 2009.  The library will feature specially created interior spaces for technology, teens, books and media collections and study/reading areas.  Groundbreaking is slated for November 2008.  A community meeting with discussions with Architect Dennis Humphries is scheduled for Thursday, May 29th at 6:30 PM at Glacier Peak Elementary School, 12060 Jasmine Street.  The public is invited.  Participants are asked to enter the building through the southwest door.

Architect Dennis Humphries will be reviewing the design development for the proposed new library and solicit feedback from the public.

Libraries To Be Renovated

The Commerce City, Perl Mack, and Thornton Libraries will be undergoing interiors upgrades during 2008.  Planning for the renovation and expansion of the Perl Mack and Commerce City Libraries will begin in 2009, to be completed in 2010.  The Thornton Library renovation will proceed in a similar timetable.
