Project
Description:
The Davis Library
located
at 6400 Democracy Boulevard, Bethesda, Maryland, is a two-level, 25,750
square foot structure and was built in 1963. The project includes the
replacement of the existing facility to provide a more efficient and
energy conservative building. The architectural and the
mechanical/electrical systems in the building are 46 and 25 years old,
respectively, and therefore, have exhausted their economic life
expectancies. A new library will not only allow for more efficient
operations, better layout and organization, and greater ease of use by
both staff and patrons, but new state-of-the-art equipment and
components for mechanical, electrical and architectural with will save
energy and, therefore, reduce the operating cost as well.
Funding

Status:

recommended budget.
