The Fretz Park Branch Library project included the select demolition and renovation of a 19,500-square-foot civic library as well as a 6,000-square-foot addition that now serves as a modern hub for learning, community engagement, and cultural enrichment. The facility functions as a book depository, auditorium, and reading area. The project included interior renovations, parking lot upgrades, and an extension to the original library areas, classrooms, and study rooms. This project achieved LEED Gold Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council for sustainable building products, material re-use, and diversion of waste materials. The civic library was constructed on a structural slab foundation with a structural steel frame, a glass and brick exterior and a thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) membrane roof. Due to CORE\u2019s efforts, the Fretz Park Branch Library provides a larger, up-to-date facility for computer connectivity, library programs, and community meetings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9662,"template":"","project_types":[113],"class_list":["post-17522","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_types-civic"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/coreconstruction.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/17522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/coreconstruction.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/coreconstruction.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/projects"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/coreconstruction.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/17522\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coreconstruction.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9662"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/coreconstruction.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project_types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coreconstruction.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_types?post=17522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
