site were approved by the City Council in late
May, bids will begin in January 1986. The library
will be a 6200 square foot multi -story building
designed for future horizontal expanshion. The
Commission expressed an interest in the wall space
for future art work.
E) Discussion of Pond for Bronze Sculpture
Several sites were discussed for the Gessner
sculpture. The sites are a)facing east outside
the lecture hall next to the main entrance; b)dir-
ectly outside of the children's area; c)the north
-32-
west grass area next to the walkway from the
parking lot. The east walls of the library will
be glass so the sculpture can be seen from in-
side the building at any of the three locations.
Consideration was given to placing the sculpture
in an area that is designed for future expan-
sion therefore the third site was recommended
by the Commission. This area would also allow
more room for a free -form reflective pond. The
architect and artist will give a final recommend-
ation on the site.
