Construction Project FAQs

Construction is expected to last twelve to eighteen months.

We expect to open the building in late summer or early fall 2027.

We do not expect any service disruptions at the current facility until it is time to move our collections, equipment, and staff to the new building; for this we will have to temporarily cease operations for a short period of time.

After the new library is ready, the Library Board will transfer ownership of the building on Park Street to the Village of Roselle. The Village will develop the site per their comprehensive planning process.

The new library's address will be 233 E. Maple Avenue, Roselle, Illinois.

Residences and buildings near the construction site can expect construction noise and traffic to varying degrees during working days throughout the duration of construction. Per Village Ordinance, construction hours are Monday - Friday 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

Delivery vehicles and construction crews will be directed to park only at designated parking zones within the construction area, and will not be allowed to park or sit idle on residential streets.

The construction project is managed by SMC. The project's site supervisor will be onsite every day during construction. After construction hours are over, the site will be secured.

Our project should not affect Miracle Field directly. The ballfield is owned and operated by the Roselle Park District and is on a separate parcel of land.

Yes, we anticipate removing ten of the existing trees on the property but have planned to keep three mature trees and incorporate them into the new library's garden and outdoor space. As part of our overall landscaping plan we will be planting an additional 36 trees throughout the site - nearly tripling the number of trees there currently.
