Project Description
The Friends of the Morgan Hill Library sponsored a space needs assessment study to address the expansion of
the Morgan Hill Library to meet growing program needs. Santa Clara County operates the Library and has
collaborated with the City to layout a phased expansion and tenant improvement plan that could ultimately
increase the size of the facility by 10,600 SF and improve the services the library provides to the community.
County Library representatives and the Friends of the Morgan Hill Library have provided the following list of
programs/activities and the associated improvements needed to address them:
o Phase I: Children's area, storytime, reading garden & bookstore: 4,900 SF of new space, 1,480 SF of new
landscaping and 1,220 SF of interior improvements.
o Phase II: Staff administrative needs, additional storage & larger program area: 2,250 SF of new space and
4,400 SF of interior improvements.
o Phase III: Adult book stacks & quiet reading: 3,400 SF of new space and 330 SF of interior improvements.
Based on feedback from the Friends of the Morgan Hill Library and the County, priority will be given to Phase I
and Phase II with construction commencing in FY 17/18. Phase III construction is anticipated to commence in FY
19/20.
Sufficient Library Impact Funds are available to complete Phase I & II. Any shortfall will be made up with a
temporary interfund loan. Phase III will be put on hold until sufficient revenues are generated. Total project cost
