Upgrades at the library include the construction a new library director’s office, park and recreation department office area, new front counters and more.
The Community Learning Center, the result of a remodeling project at the Greendale Library, could be completed by mid-summer now that the Village has chosen a construction company to complete the work. The Village Board on Tuesday awarded JH Hassinger, Inc. the project after the construction company came in with the lowest bid of $97,900. The total cost of the project, however, is expected to be closer to $150,000. New, modular furniture is estimated to cost $32,000 and a voice and data wiring upgrade will be about $6,500. “We’ve been working on this for more than a year,” Village Manager Todd Michaels said. “We’re to the point were the shovel is going to hit the ground.

Three Greendale government entities have come to an agreement about the construction and management of the new mixed-use facility. Now they need to figure out who will build it.
Things are moving forward in the plan to create a new, mixed-use facility to be called Greendale Community Learning Center (CLC) housing the Public Library, the Health Department and the Park and Recreation Department. The joint effort between the Village of Greendale and the Greendale School District would bring those three departments together in the current public library building at 5647 Broad Street. The partnership between the village, district and library was announced over the summer, and the village and district have approved the agreement that will let the project go forward.

The Village Board put off approving the ordinance outlining governance of the learning center to let other entities involved take a look at some changes in wording.
Approval for the Community Learning Center took a brief setback Tuesday after the Greendale Village Board tabled a resolution to establish governance of the new facility. Village Manager Todd Michaels recommended trustees table the resolution Tuesday because there were some wording changes made by the Greendale School Board. Although Michaels said the wording changes were fairly minor, he said they were significant enough to have them go back to consideration to the other governing bodies involved in the project. Greendale Schools, the Village of Greendale and the Greendale Public Library announced a partnership over the summer for the construction of a new, mixed-use facility to be called Greendale Community Learning Center (CLC). Under …

The Greendale Community Learning Center will not be completed as quickly as the library director anticipated.

When the CLC report was first released, Library Director Gary Niebuhr hoped construction would begin this fall. But that hasn't happened. One side effect to the construction delay was the cancelation of the fall story time at …
