Richton Park Public Library

New Library

Frederick Quinn Corporation (FQC) was selected to provide comprehensive at-risk construction management services for a new 18,000 SF library for Richton Park. The construction management services provided include pre-construction services, bidding and contract award, construction phases services and project close-out. The pre-construction services will assist with development of the library program and site plan for a new parcel of land that will be procured through a land swap agreement with the Village of Richton Park. FQC participated in, and supported the land swap agreement negotiations through site evaluation and cost estimating. This final agreement was necessary in order to finalize requirements that were required to be funded through the library’s referendum, including improvements to a public road.

The new 18,000 SF library will be Richton Park Library’s only facility. It will include all components of a modern library including:

• Circulation
• Adult Services
• Quiet Study
• Independent Study Rooms
• Technology Center
• Young Adult and Youth Services
• Childrens Area
• Public Meeting Rooms
• Administration Offices
• Staff Workroom
• Support Spaces

The building will be a one story structure built with a blend of precast, masonry and glazing. It is situated on the site to accommodate required site detention and parking and is oriented to accommodate future expansion. When complete, the facility will enhance the municipal town center of Richton Park, which includes a Community Center, Village Hall, Police Department and Fire Station.
