Citizen Engagement/City Governance Stryker Center – City/Library Partnership
Category: General Government Project Title: Facilities Project Description: Stryker Center The next project in the continuing development of the City’s Municipal Center will extend the partnership between the City and the Williamsburg Regional Library to meet the city’s governmental needs and to satisfy unmet demands for civic and community activity space. The existing Stryker Building will be demolished and replaced with a 12,000 square foot “Stryker Center,” to include the City Council chamber, meeting rooms, administrative space for the Williamsburg Regional Library, and exhibition, gallery and reception space. The public spaces will be shared with Library uses such as educational and arts programming, video production and origination, film screening, and diverse community meeting and activities. The Stryker Center will become a place where citizens interact easily with government and one another. The proposed budget for the Stryker Center is under development. Estimated Capital Budget: FY14 FY15 $5,500,000
FY16
FY17
FY18
Total $5,500,000
Fiscal Impact: The Library Foundation is considering a significant capital contribution to the project, and Library staff will assist with programming and operation of the building. No additional city staffing will be required to support the building. There will be ongoing facilities operation and maintenance cost offset by current maintenance costs for the existing Stryker Building.
