Frasca Community Event: Library Ops Center
January 30 @ 8:30 am - 10:00 am
Start your day with AFO! Join us at our first event of 2024 by exploring the new Multnomah County Library Operations Center.
The Operations Center is the heart of the library, where every item placed on hold is sorted in addition to being the first stop for new books and materials. Plus, items for outreach to schools, shelters, and more will be centered here.
With Hennebery Eddy Architects leading the design of the Operations Center, and Fortis Construction as the General Contractor, the building will provide a pathway to greater efficiency with sustainability at the core of the work. With plans for approximately 600 photovoltaic panels on the building’s rooftop, the goal is to make this a net-zero energy building in addition to attaining LEED Gold certification.
On July 6, 2022, the library broke ground on the Operations Center, celebrating the start of construction for this important building. Join us to learn more about this exciting project from the project designers and library staff!
