FREMONT NEIGHBORHOOD AND LIBRARY HISTORY
FREMONT NEIGHBORHOOD
CHARACTER •“Fremont’s working-class roots are still present. It is one of the few neighborhoods where people still make things.”(6) •Fremont’s ambience is infused with littleknown art studios and unusual shops such as Bitters Co (6). •The neighborhood is also home to a number of progressive nonprofit organizations (6). •The lure of art and industry also has convinced a number of musicians to locate studios in Fremont, including Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam, who built a major music studio on the western edge of Fremont (6). •Fremont also has an unusual mix of homes, apartments, back-alley studios, factories and industries (6).

FREMONT LIBRARY
HISTORY Funded by Andrew Carnegie and designed by city architect Daniel Riggs Huntington, the Fremont Branch of the Seattle Library opened on July 27, 1921 (6). The branch was updated or renovated in 1945, 1973, 1987, and more recently in 2004-2005. The Fremont Library is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and named a landmark building by Seattle’s Landmarks Preservation Board. The most recent renovations, which were designed by Hoshide Williams Architects and built by Biwell Construction Inc., respected the historic character of the branch while improving its efficiency, layout and accessibility (8). CONSTRUCTION In 1916, the Businessmen’s Club of Fremont launched a drive to collect money for a new branch. In 1917, philanthropist Andrew Carnegie offered Seattle $35,000 for a Fremont branch if the community would provide the land, the books, and the staff. By 1920 the community had raised $7,000 through solicitation and fundraisers. The City of Seattle chipped in the balance of $3,000 to buy a lot on N 35th Street for $10,000. But WWI and budget issues delayed the project. The library board became concerned that the Carnegie grant might no longer be enough for construction and asked for more. The foundation declined the request. To save money, the board went to the City Architect, Daniel R. Huntington (8)(9).

SITE ANALYSIS
TOPOGRAPHY ORIENTATION
The longer side of the twolevel building is oriented east to west (sunset and sunrise) and the shorter side is oriented north to south. The main entrance to the library is on street level on the north side of the building and the wheelchair accessible entrance is on the east side of the building. The Seattle Branch is built on a steep slope on the south side of the building. During the most recent renovations, a new park and a pathway down the slope was created (2).

NATURAL LIGHT

In general, the space is dark and the quality of light is poor. In relation to the sun, the building gets both morning and afternoon natural light through its east and west windows. However, the sun is at its highest point facing south, where most of the windows are located. Because of the overcast northwest weather the quality of light in the winter is worth than in the summers; indeed glare can be an issue in the summer (need

LOCATION AND ADJACENT BUILDINGS

EXPANSION

Because the library is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and named a landmark building, by Seattle’s Landmarks Preservation Board (8), the exterior of the building most visible to the public cannot be altered. However, the south wall, which can only be viewed from an alley, can be changed and would be where the expansion of the building could be possible.

Aurora Bridge

The Fremont Branch is located on the south side of North 35th Street between Fremont Avenue North and the Aurora Bridge, near the business district (8). It is adjacent to the east with the Fremont Professional Center, a brick and glass building, and to the west with a more contemporary apartment building complex.

NEIGHBORHOOD

To the east of the library stands the Aurora Bridge and to the east is Fremont’s business district with its restaurants, bars, art stores and boutiques. Across the street from the library is a parking lot, a lingerie boutique and a red brick building.

SITE ANALYSIS
STYLE FEATURES
• FUNC (Fremont Urban Neighborhood Coalition) has highlighted the need for a community center. • The people of Fremont need a place where they can recreate, communicate, meet, teach and socialize (3-FUNC). • The center needs to reflect its active and creative community (3-FUNC). • There is a need for a place where people can get support services (3FUNC).

COMMUNITY NEEDS

• Exterior features: limited fenestration, the use of gable and hip roofs, red clay roof tiles and terra-cotta brick covered with stucco cladding, ornamental metal and arched openings and windows (8). • Interior features: long and arcaded corridors, high-gabled ceilings with exposed heavy timber trusses and plastered walls (8).

CONDITIONS & DETAILS

<http://www.seattle.gov/dpd/planning/neighborhood_ planning/statusreports>.

Poverty rates in Fremont (2000 Census)

• Fremont is the self-proclaimed Center of the Universe, its own Republic (6). • According to the 2000 Census the median income for Families is $54,091 and for Nonfamiles is $36,764 (1- Census 2000). • The population is 11,309 (1- Census 2000). • Working class community (2). • 70% of residents are renters (2). • 15.8% of residents are below poverty level (2). • “Safe, vibrant, artsy and friendly neighborhood” (2). • Interconnection of small businesses, artists and artisans, industry, and residents (2)

DEMOGRAPHICS

• stucco walls • original light fixtures in the main room • carpet over rough wood flooring in the main room (first floor) • oak trims and original oak doors throughout the building • high-gabled ceilings with exposed heavy timber trusses (worth saving) • arched windows (worth saving)

LIMITATIONS OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION

USE

The Fremont Library is not a library used by students, pupils and families, since there are no schools in its vicinity. It is mostly used by adults and its most popular feature is its computers, which are always full. The library is also used as a center of community activity (8).

The challenge with historic preservation, in regard to sustainable design, is that some materials and features might not be sustainable but have to be kept: • Windows: the windows on all façades, except the one on the south façade, have to be kept for preservation. These windows are single pane and therefore allow heat loss in the winters and heat gain in the summers. • The structure: the stucco covered brick walls are susceptible to water damage. The outdated insulation may allow heat loss or gain. Exposure to the elements, shifting soils and earthquakes contribute to structural instability. • The roof: the red clay tiles roof has to be preserved although it is not appropriate to the Northwest climate. Because the roof cannot be changed it is impossible to replace it with the more sustainable green roof option.

Taking care of our community.

Because health care is one of the most pressing issues our society is currently dealing with, I have decided to change the use of the Fremont Library into a preventive medicine Community Center Clinic. 47 million Americans currently have no health coverage and it is estimated that 25 million Americans are underinsured (7). According to an article published in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, “about 10 percent of the folks in North Seattle (Fremont) are struggling to meet basic needs” (5).

ADMINISTRATIVE: • Reception • Waiting • Play Pit • Business PATIENT CARE: • Examination rooms (3) • Consultation rooms (2) • Minor procedure room • Meeting/seminar room

SUPPORT SERVICES • Nurse station • Sterilization • Laboratory • Storage (2) • Conference room • Staff lounge/kitchen • Director’s office • Administration office • Accounting/finance office • Restrooms (2) • Elevator • Restrooms (2)

CONCEPT & SUSTAINABLE DESIGN GOALS
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN GOALS
• Reduce energy consumption: decrease the use of electricity through appliances specification (Energy Star), equipment efficiency and space planning. • Reduce ozone depletion: use energy-efficient HVAC equipment that does not use CFC-based refrigerants. • Reduce materials: reuse building materials found on site such as the wood from the shelves and doors to reduce waste. • Use sustainable materials: choose building materials with the smallest environmental footprint possible and high recycled content. • Improve IEQ (Interior Environmental Quality) and IAQ (Indoor Air Quality): improve ventilation, use non-toxic cleaning products, and use materials and finishes with low or no VOC. • Green power: install solar panels and rain water recycling systems to lower our reliance on energy.

Glass walls offer acoustic privacy while preserving the ceiling and allowing natural light to flow freely throughout. Using tinted glass is a modern way to create privacy

In the main room on the first floor moveable partitions, and glass and floating walls will be used in oder to preserve the original ceiling beams.

DESIGN DECISION

On the lower level, the play pit adjacent to the waiting room will be more children friendly than the rest of the space with a more colorful color palette and fun furniture and toys.

• Preserve the building and site: do as little changes as possible to the building and site to conserve resources and reduce environmental impacts. • Transportation: encourage the use of alternative transportation modes through the installation of bike racks and changing rooms. • Reduce water use: through fixtures and appliances specification, space planning and gray water and rain water recycling systems. • Increase lighting efficiency: increase the amount of natural light (sun patterns), use motion sensors, and use more efficient lighting fixtures and lamps.
