INFORMATION: Public outreach for this project and hearing includes flyers, mailed notice, emails and other social media releases, public engagement sessions, signs (digital and posters ) on the property, at Town Hall during early voting and on Election Day, and all around town. Information on the project survey has been included in this outreach and surveys have been made available on the site. The concept development process for the 203 Project restarted in late June.
With design concepts building on the 2018 engagement and design, the updated program includes approximately 51,000 square feet and associated parking to support the following:
Orange County Southern Branch Library
Carrboro Recreation, Parks and Cultural Resources
Orange County Skills Development Center
Certified Nursing Assistant Program/Durham Tech
WCOM Radio
Seed Library, Teen Space, Multi-purpose performance space
Virtual Justice Center
Orange County Guardian ad Litem program
The schematic design incorporates features that were derived from public input in 2018, with the principle change being the substitution of the Skills Development Center activities for the Arts Center space. The design also responds to the revised synergies that result from the new partnerships and opportunities between the building users, and is planned to result in a high-performing, energy-efficient, LEED Gold-equivalent building
