Core Forum: Build Better: Effective Library Project Management

Date: Wednesday, August 16, 2023

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.

Description:

This webinar provides a project management overview that can be applied to
all types of library improvements that will help you achieve your system’s
objectives. You will be presented strategies for effectively communicating
your project goals to a design and construction team and will leave with
the tools necessary to prepare a detailed needs assessment and project
scope. Charleston County Public Library’s Project Manager Toni Lombardozzi,
who has a background in architecture and construction project management,
is currently overseeing a $108.5 million capital improvement project that
includes small renovations to larger-scale new construction. Lombardozzi
has spent the last six years on the project and will share insights into
the cross-discipline experience of working closely with both library staff
and design and construction teams and provide tips and tools on how to make
this type of communication effective. This presentation is geared towards
anyone with an upcoming improvement project, but the project management
strategies presented can be applied to a wide range of ventures not limited
to construction. Those that have worked on design/construction enterprises
before will find innovative ideas for successful project implementation and
those that are new to this practice will learn the groundwork for
efficiently advancing projects.

Learning outcomes:

At the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:

   -

   Successfully prepare a viable needs assessment and develop a detailed
   project scope.
   -

   Given a capital improvements project, attendees will be able to
   accurately translate project goals and objectives to consultants, design
   and construction teams.
   -

   Will have the tools to create practical strategies for successful
   project implementation within their organization.
   -

   Given a capital improvements project, attendees will be able to
   effectively identify project deliverables throughout progressive project
   stages.

Who should attend?

Attendees with upcoming capital improvements projects including facility
upgrades, renovations, and/or new construction (not limited in scope or
size) will find this presentation timely.

Presenters:

Toni Lombardozzi has most recently found her home working with the
Charleston County Public Library on a $108.5 million capital improvements
project. Combining fifteen years in the design and construction industry
and the latest six years specifically working with libraries, Toni can
share a unique cross-discipline perspective on the realities of translating
library needs into physical spaces. She is passionate about libraries and
the essential services they provide to the community and isn’t shy about
making sure her team gets what they need out of a project. Staff enjoy
working with Toni, often citing her high-energy and overall dedication as
motivation for their own projects. Toni’s enthusiasm and humor compel
audiences to stay engaged and laugh while they learn. Her presentations
leave attendees with practical tools and a focused mindset that they can
bring back to their organizations. When she’s not on a jobsite you may run
into Toni hiking a backcountry trail or paddling her kayak down a creek,
but always with a book in her backpack.
