This week, the first of many steel girders for the Richardson Public Library renovation project was installed, which will provide structural support within the existing building (located at 900 Civic Center Dr.) as more space is added. The 2021 Bond-funded project includes increased program space, upgraded heating and air conditioning and plumbing systems, new stairways and new centralized bathrooms. Once complete, the Library’s footprint will be increased from its previous 75,861 square feet to 83,576 square feet.   

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing work in the basement is ongoing and nearly complete, and interior sheet rock walls are going up. Portions of the heating and air conditioning systems are also being installed.   

The building remains on schedule for a grand re-opening in the first quarter of 2026.
