Architects narrow library designs to four

Architects working on the renovation of Madison's Central Library have narrowed the number of concepts from seven to four, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.

Architects from Meyer, Scherer and Rockcastle, of Minneapolis, and Potter Lawson, of Madison, are working on the design for the new library.

The architects presented seven plans at a schematic design meeting earlier this month. The design team then used the feedback from the public meeting to narrow it down to four design concepts.

The project is currently budgeted a $29.5 million with $8 million of coming from private funding.

The four designs will be presented for public input at an informational meeting Wednesday.
