Renovation of a library in Anchorage, Alaska. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a library.

Flooring: Replace existing old carpet throughout the remainder of third floor to match the new carpet installed in Phase One. This will create a cohesive look and feel for the entire space and remove carpet that is difficult to maintain, contributes to tripping hazards, and must be replaced all at once when damaged due to the style of carpet currently installed. The existing carpet was installed in 1992 and has worn in such a way that bubbles have formed underneath it and the pattern on the carpet creates a three-dimensional effect, making it difficult for wheeled conveyances such as book carts, walkers, and wheelchairs to traverse across this section of the library. Replacing the carpet with new carpet or flooring will be easier and more cost effective to maintain as well as more aesthetically pleasing.
