Construction will begin soon on a new building to house both Lilburn City Hall and a Gwinnett Public Library branch. The two governments will share costs for the $11,294,000 project with Gwinnett managing construction. Funding for the library portion comes from SPLOST.
The 47,940-square-foot, two-level building will include 5,217 square feet of shared community and support space in addition to the 18,864-square-foot library and 24,927-square-foot city hall. It is designed to meet LEED Certification Version 3.0 through the U.S. Green Building Council. Construction is expected to take about 14 months.
Lilburn had outgrown its present city hall at 76 Main Street and needed space for public safety and municipal courts. Lilburn’s existing library at 788 Hillcrest Road is one of the system’s oldest and smallest branches. The project will be the library system’s first joint building with a municipality.
