Minneapolis Public Library and the City of Minneapolis announce that they expect to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for architectural design services on or about May 21 for a new Central Library to be built in downtown Minneapolis. 

The new Central Library project is a two-block, mixed-use development which will include a 400,000-sq. ft. worldclass, landmark library to be remarkable in design and flexible in function, a state-of-the-art planetarium, vibrant public space, retail and parking. A residential tower and retail will be built on the adjacent block by a private developer. The project is planned to break ground in 2003 with completion in 2006.

Architects will be selected through a two-step RFP process. The first step of the Central Library architect selection process is a submittal of qualifications, due June 12. Submittals will be screened June 13-26 with a short-list of selected firms announced on or about June 26.

The short-listed architectural firms will be invited to submit a detailed proposal, due by July 24. The final selection process will take place between July 30-August 3, starting with public presentations followed the next day by interviews with the selection committee. 

The RFP and a program summary will be available after May 20 online at Minneapolis Public Libraryıs website (URL listed below).
