Library. The purpose of the workshops is to gather insights and input from
Winter Park residents on the specific location, appearance and design of
the proposed new Winter Park Public Library and civic center facility.
Workshop attendees will explore and help create placemaking possibilities
that carefully integrate the new library/civic center within the northern
sector of Martin Luther King, Jr. Park. The results of the workshops will
be integrated into conceptual designs to be presented to the residents and
City Commission.

spaces. Also facilitating will be Dr. Norman Jacknis of Columbia
University, a senior fellow at the Intelligent Community Forum, a

to The Aspen Institute’s effort “Rising to the Challenge: Re-envisioning
Public Libraries.”

Attendees will have an opportunity to express their preferences as to which
styles and characteristics work best with Winter Park’s unique
architectural character and vision for a new 21st century library and
civic center facility.
*Community Workshop 3: Community Findings & Direction*
Thursday, September 17, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Participants will review the results of the placemaking and building
appearance workshops, and view a 2-D conceptual site plan as well as 3-D

input. Attendees will be encouraged to give feedback to help adjust the
concepts so they most accurately reflect the wants and needs of the Winter
