- St. Francis Xavier School Library Renovation -

For some time St. Francis Xavier Catholic School in Petoskey, Michigan had planned to renovate & expand their library.

After considerable planning including consultation with a professional library design firm the scope of the project was finalized.

The Baiardi Foundation offered to fund the project which had a projected construction timeline spanning approximately twelve (12) months.

Construction was completed and the library ready for student use in late 2017.

Highlights of the project include:

• Expansion into an adjoining classroom approximately doubled the floor space of the library.
• Adding additional shelving & free standing units of modern design for books.
• Addition of new modern tables and chairs for students along with a new conference table and chairs for the staff meeting area.
• Complete redecorating including carpet & paint.

Now that construction is complete staff has begun adding new books & reading materials.

The Baiardi Foundation will fund these purchases over the next several years beginning in 2018.

Below is a slideshow of twenty-four (24) photos provided by St. Francis Xavier staff showing "Before", "Working", and "After" stages of the project.
