Cedar Rapids Public Library enters next phase of construction project. (Cedar Rapids Gazette, 11/30/2011)
Excerpt: Before demolition can begin, everything that can be recycled from inside the former TrueNorth building will be removed from the site. Recycling and re-purposing materials earns the library project points towards the goal of platinum certification in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system. This means everything from doors to toilets to electrical fixtures will be recycled, with the goal to keep 90 percent of the materiel from the former TrueNorth building out of the landfill.
Demolition is anticipated to begin after the first of the year.
The library will host a community celebration in March to mark the beginning of the next phase of construction.
