Chevy Chase Library - CE0-CCL37 - District of Columbia

Chevy Chase Library is located on a site also occupied by the Chevy Chase Community Center. Both buildings stand at the gateway to the District, on Connecticut Avenue near the border with Maryland. The revised Comprehensive Plan adopted by the Council calls for increased density along that corridor of Connecticut Avenue. In response, ANC 3/4G, in budget testimony before numerous committees of the Council, has called for a small area plan that considers the need for more affordable housing -- including co-located on the site of the library and community center -- while "also preserving the neighborhood's hallmark livability and ensuring that new development has a compatible scale, function, and character with the surrounding structures." The redevelopment of the Library should, therefore, occur simultaneously with the redevelopment of the Community Center, and both projects -- done in tandem -- should reflect community interests and planning choices adopted in that small area plan. Funds for the housing component of the project may also include money from the Housing Production Trust Fund. For these reasons, a determination of the required funding level should be delayed until FY 2023. The project will substantially renovate the building to create a new 21st century state-of-art LEED Silver Rated facility. The scope of work entails providing architectural and engineering services which comprises predesign, design, preparation of contract documents, commissioning, and planning services to accomplish the following: Substantially renovate the structure to fully or substantially comply with ADA Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities (September 2002) to include vertical transportation, interior circulation, signage, entrances and exits, walkways, restrooms, alarms, etc. The renovated Chevy Chase Neighborhood Library will reflect the program and goals of the Library and the needs of the District of Columbia residents that use the library. The building will incorporate forward-thinking approaches to urban design, architecture, engineering, environmental technologies in the public realm. The renovated Chevy Chase Library and Community Center will be a destination that will attract and support hundreds of users a day, and promote a vibrant, mixed-use neighborhood, and active street environment. As of June 29, 2023, this project is included in the District of Columbia FY 2024-2029 CIP. Information regarding design team and contractor selection has not been disclosed. Although a firm timeline for construction has not been determined, design is not expected to start prior to Fiscal Year 2023 and construction not expected to start prior to Fiscal Year 2026. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
