Here are a few additional images with some minor adjustments.
- The exit from the meeting room has been moved to the front of the building
- Two options are being considered for shading on the rear window — louvers or a roller shade
- Windows on the upper level have been enlarged
- Window on the side of the building has been enlarged

The New Woodridge Neighborhood Library 
Pingback: Several New Drawings of Upcoming Woodridge Library | Re: Ward 5
The narrow slit windows look like a prison. It reminds me of the old Watha T. Daniel library we just got done tearing down and replacing. Please, please, please consider more glass, more windows!
Why was the meeting room exit moved to the front of the building? I like the enlarged windows on the upper level and the back of the building. I like roller a roller shade. Thank you for allowing my feedback and comment. I hope it has serious consideration before making the final decision.
The large windows facing Langdon Park are south facing. The heat gain in summer will be substantial. I believe louvers would do a better job of controlling heat gain. Would they open and close with the sunlight?
Is parking for 11 cars still included at rear of site? If so, meeting room entrance/exit might make more sense on south side of bldg. I don’t know many people who walk to this library.
Signage on RI Ave corner of building: Should announce the library and any special events to be held there. Perhaps an LED sign that blends with the bldg?
Finally, that roof reading room / community garden needs a re-think. In terms of the elements, sun, rain, snow. And time and effort (volunteer?) to maintain any plantings.
Whoa, look at all that opaque concrete. Yikes, who knew that prison chic was in?
I am not impressed. There is no WOW factor here. Perhaps, we need to go back to the drawing board. Not enough parking, windows or meeting space.
