Washington University will be renovating 6188 McPherson, during 2012.
The six-story building includes 50 apartments and is the home of the Charing Cross Branch of the St. Louis Public Library and also of Feinberg Realty.
The renovation will include new utility systems and elevators, as well as complete upgrades to all the apartment units and the retail space.
During construction in 2012, the Charing Cross Branch will be temporarily relocated to 6046 Delmar, at the intersection of Delmar and Rosedale.
According to Mary Campbell, Associate Vice Chancellor for Real Estate, “It was important to keep the branch close to the adjacent Skinker DeBaliviere neighborhood and an easy walk for library users.” Said Diane Freiermuth, Deputy Director of the St. Louis Public Library, “The Charing Cross Branch enjoys a very loyal patron base.
We are pleased to work with Washington University so that we can continue serving them while the Branch is renovated.” Feinberg Realty will move to an office space in the Millbrook Plaza, at the intersection of Forest Park Parkway and Big Bend during the renovation period.
When the renovations are complete, in Spring 2013, Washington University looks forward to welcoming back the Charing Cross Branch and Feinberg Realty to a newly renovated space.
