River SITE ANALYSIS BACKGROUND SITE FEASIBILITY STUDY GREAT RIVER REGIONAL LIBRARY SYSTEM CITY OF ELK RIVER The following submittal report contains the specific site information and analysis for the proposed Elk River Library as part of the Great River Regional Library System. The Building and Space Program provides data and guidance for design for the library. The City of Elk River is the owner of the properties and will use the site analysis in the planning the library project. Regional libraries can be differentiated from academic, school, and special libraries because they function to serve the needs of a diverse service population including small children, students, professionals, and the elderly. Although public libraries serve the public at large, including those who are also served by other types of libraries, they are used primarily by members of the local community in which they are constructed and secondarily by members in communities in immediately outlying areas. Elk River is a community with a large population of young children and a community with a high-quality elementary school system; the public library design must address the needs of children and how they use libraries. This public library also serves the needs of a community with a large population of elderly people and must included design criteria to meet their needs. KKE ARCHITECTS: 0606.1159.01 - 7- The purpose of this document is to evaluate and prioritize site locations for the Elk River Library according to the assumed space program, the technical program needs and the service requirements of the Great River Regional Library System.
