Interim Lakewood Pierce County Library
|
|
|
The interim Lakewood Library remains a top priority for the Pierce County Library System. The Library is working with Modern Building Systems, Inc. (MBS), architects and various government agencies for building requirements needed for the interim Lakewood Library.
MBS is placing orders for building parts including windows, electrical components and HVAC systems. The Library System is working toward completing the building installation in the first half of 2024. Please know this is still a tentative timeline, as the timeline for the building has many moving parts, including supply chain challenges, contractor availability and agency building requirements.
