Ground breaking for new library in Sienna
Sienna Plantation soon will be the site of a new library.
Fort Bend County will officially break ground for Fort Bend County Libraries’ newest library, the Sienna Branch Library, to be located at 8411 Sienna Springs Blvd. in Missouri City.
The groundbreaking ceremony, to be held Wednesday, Sept. 10 at 9:30 a.m., will be officiated by County Judge Bob Hebert and Precinct 2 Commissioner Grady Prestage, who will be joined by area dignitaries in celebrating the start of construction. The library, a partnership with the Houston Community College System, will be the first joint-use facility in the Fort Bend County library system.
Designed by STOA/Golemon/Bolullo Architects of Houston, the two-story building will be approximately 45,000 sq. ft. in size. The new library is part of a $130-million bond referendum approved by voters in May 2006, which included $24.5 million for three county library projects -- the Sienna Branch Library, a library in partnership with the University of Houston Sugar Land campus, and renovations at George Memorial Library in Richmond.
Area residents are invited to come out and take part in the festivities.
