From Feb board minutes: [i]Bob Schaltenbrand said he thought the model for Central would be on display tonight and asked for an update. Ms. Bloom said it is nearly complete and will be taken to Florida by one of the architects for a fundraising event. She said they are tentatively planning to have the model on display at the April board meeting./[i]
the model is indeed now in grosse pointe, and should soon be on display at board meetings, public fundraising events, and the like, along with interior and exterior perspectives of both the renovation of the breuer building and the new addition. the project's design has been on hold for a couple of months now during fundraising, but i heard today that they've been promised a gift of something in the neighborhood of $5-10M from a private donor, so the library's future definitely looks good.
