Library Shelving and End Panels Contract for Kitchener
Montel, a global leader of high-density mobile storage shelving system solutions for office, institutional and industrial applications, is pleased to announce that it has been contracted by the Kitchener Public Library to supply, deliver and install shelving and end panels for the New Central Library in Kitchener, ON.
Kitchener Public Library was originally constructed in multiple phases dating back to 1962 with additions and renovations in 1978 and 1994. The New Central Library Project, which includes the renovation of the existing 81,850 square feet and a new addition of approximately 20,000 square feet, will address a wide range of needs related to customer service and amenities, accessibility, technology and collections. The $40 million project will enable the library to respond to the increasing information, recreational and literacy needs of the growing Kitchener community.
Montel’s scope of work includes providing its Aetnastak cantilever library shelving and end panels of varying sizes and configurations to be installed in the New Central Library which will replace existing shelving.
“We are very pleased to have been selected by the Kitchener Public Library to provide our library shelving and end panels for this signature Central library renovation and expansion project,” mentioned Yves Belanger, Canadian National Sales Manager at Montel. “Montel has a proven track record in meeting the kind of unique challenges that this type of project presents.”
Designed by LGA Architectural Partners in association with The Walter Fedy Partnership and Phillip H Carter Architect, the New Central Library construction is anticipated to be completed in early 2014.
