Rank The Option Diagrams:
Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Initial Concepts Workshop on September 14!  We appreciate and value your input.  Your voice matters!  To gather additional feedback from the community, we have posted these diagrams to the website and invite your participation in ranking the components of each option.

By ranking these options, you are helping to inform the conceptual layout, the potential placement of the building on the site, and what form the building may eventually take.

Your feedback is highly valued and will be taken into consideration as the initial concepts are refined. Often, the preferred option evolves from a combination or adjustment of elements from each of the options, as it moves through an iterative design process.

To participate on your mobile or desktop device, visit the Feasibility Study page and click the “Survey” link at the top. https://www.westhartfordlibrary.org/the-library/feasibility-study/

About the Feasibility Study:
The Town of West Hartford and Tecton Architects are conducting a functional program and feasibility study for a new Elmwood Community Center, Senior Center, and Library to be located at 100 Mayflower Street adjacent to Beachland Park. The study includes a comprehensive evaluation of the existing facilities, a programmatic space needs assessment, and a preliminary budget, all guided by the Town’s values, sustainability goals and community feedback. The study encompasses the programs currently offered at the Elmwood Community Center and the Elmwood Senior Center, in addition to other West Hartford community programs, such as the Faxon Library, Emergency Management, Social Services, and Teen Center.
