Update:https://www.jacksonville.gov/departments/finance/docs/budget/fy24-28-adopted-cip-book.aspx Replacement of HVAC chiller and controls. Project is included City of Jacksonville Fiscal Year 2024-2028 Page no 189 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Mandarin Branch Library opened in June 1986. Due to older outdated systems the Mandarin Branch Library is not operating efficiently, both in its physical systems and its set up for children, tweens, and teens. Collaborative areas for interactive work and study as well as separate study and meeting areas are needed. Upgrading the data infrastructure, replacing and upgrading electrical capacity is needed. Additionally an improved layout for public access computers, an e-classroom and closing off the Children's area are necessary to bring the Library into line with customer demand. The areas needed are for individual and group driven innovation spaces that focus on expression and creativity in libraries. The core element is knowledge and culture and the ability to blend knowledge domains which would not normally be mixed. As this project is planned the outdated and inefficient HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems would be replaced with new systems including solar hot water, low flow plumbing fixtures, and high efficiency HVAC systems. As of December 08, 2022, this project is currently in the FY 2023-2027 CIP . Funding for this project is allotted in the city's capital improvement plan for construction Fy 2023.
