Posted: Wednesday, October 23, 2002

The Amarillo City Commission approved a contract Tuesday for construction on a Northwest Branch Library.

The $1.6-million contract was awarded to Cruz Construction of Amarillo.

Part of a $6.9-million library package residents approved in a 1999 bond election, the new library will be a joint venture between the city of Amarillo and the West Amarillo College campus.

The library will be located at 6200 W. Ninth Ave., to the east of existing buildings on the West Amarillo College campus.

The contractor bids for the project came in lower than the expected estimates, allowing the city to expand the size of the library from 13,000 to 16,000 square feet, said Assistant City Manager Alan Taylor.

Featured in the library will be adult and children's reading areas, a meeting room, audio-video collection, computers and an Amarillo College classroom.

An outdoor reading area also will be included.

Taylor said 1,800 square feet of the library space will be used for AC's classroom area.

Construction is expected to begin in early December and take about nine months to complete, Taylor said.
