Facilities Planning

GVPL engaged a consulting team from CitySpaces Consulting Ltd and Chow Low Hammond (CLHa) Architects to develop its first-ever Facilities Plan, Making Space for the Future. Library users, staff, municipal partners, community groups, and potential partners had a great deal of input in the development of the GVPL Facilities Plan — the first time this level of planning has taken place. The resulting plan points the way forward in a fiscally responsible manner to meet the varied and growing needs of the entire community. Its recommendations reflect the varying needs and interests across the region, as well as the economic realities.
