Model & Next Steps
Brampton
LibraryBrampton Library - FMP • Last updated in 2011 • Population has increase from 510,000 to 594,000 • Achieved most recommendations • Recognize that it’s time to review
Facility Model for Brampton Library
• The facility model defined in the 2007 Master Plan Update (a centralized system consisting
of a central library and district branches) should continue to be used to guide the Brampton
Recommenda)on Library’s long-term infrastructure planning.
• No Central Library as of yet
• Branches/Interim sites range from 3,000 to 43,500 sq ft
Actual • 3 new builds and 1 major renovation; closing of interim sites
• Per capita and square footage targets may not be achieved and can be impacted by
community specific needs, funding and partnership opportunities
Lessons Learned • Ex: Springdale Branch – Library, Park and Splash Pad – “Destination”Space Requirements
• A standard of 0.6 sq 5 per capita remains appropriate as a long-term target for the Brampton
Library’s space needs.
• Branches to be 30,000 sq 5 in size; +/- 5,000 sq 5.
Recommendation
• A service radius of 3km for each branch library.
• BL is in a deficit situation; in 2011 – average of 0.25 sq ft per capita
• 4 original branches (12,750 - 43,500 sq ft), 2 interim sites (3,000 sq ft)
Actual • Mount Pleasant Village (22,000), Gore Meadows (30,000), Springdale (25,000)
• No longer building 30,000 sq ft buildings – remains aspirational, but not practical
• Need to explore opportunities for partnerships with City or other organizations
Lessons Learned
• Need to consider alternate forms of library service to increase visibility and presence – kiosks,
storefront, vansBrampton Library: Branch Locations - 3km Service Radius
