Planning Kicks Off

Architects from Sasaki (Boston) and Holland Basham (Omaha) were selected to work with the Libraries to produce a “Programming and Visioning Study ” that focuses on Love North, the Donaldson and Cather Gardens, and expansion of the LDRF. The two firms toured Love South and North the morning of April 9 and a planning group met during that afternoon to kick off the process that will continue through September 2013.
