COVER
EVERETT MAIN LIBRARY, located in Bellevue, Washington, consisted of three main types of material that incorporated the new building with the old. These materials were tile, veneer and brick, supplied by Mutual Materials out of Bellevue, Washington. Four courses had to be inset every so many feet 5/8" to accommodate for the granite tile band. This band is the main feature that stands out in the incorporation of new work against old work. The pre-cast on top of the parapet and rail walls really do match the old pre-cast on the old building. The architect on this job, Craig Thompson, of Dykeman Architects did a great job at adding bands and pre-cast in the best location possible to make everything line up with the lines on the old library building. Another unique feature are the bands at entries, they had to be cut 2x12" so we could place them in the radius inset provided for them. "The most difficult part of the whole job," said Job Foreman, Curtis Bergemeier, of Buckeye Masonry, "was the stair treads and planter wall at the entry ways where new and old come together." The steps were mitered on all corners at the south entry and curved on the east entry, the planters were stepped-up to match the slope of the ground and came up to meet old and new building heights. At the south entry, a tear drop shaped bench, with granite bench tops on each side of the beautifully scrolled entry doors, were designed into the old building's entry. Bergemeier considers this was one of the most challenging, yet joyable jobs he has ever built.
