Chicago Public Library Hosting LJ's Design Institute '07: Going Green

by Michael Rogers -- Library Journal, 10/09/2007

The Chicago Public Library’s Harold Washington Center will play host to LJ’s free Design Institute 2007: Going Green on December 11. Like the smash inaugural Design Institute held in the Queens Library’s Flushing branch in 2006, this one offers 100 librarians considering a new building project or renovation, in the fundraising or pre-bond stage, or in the early building process an opportunity to join LJ, architects, and vendors for a free, full-day seminar discussing the latest developments, cost concerns, and cutting-edge solutions. Following the initial Design Institute’s proven formula, participants will break out into smaller groups led by architects to focus on specific design challenges based on real-life projects submitted in advance by attendees.
