Top three teams prep for final design presentation of MLK Library renovation

The historic Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library in Washington D.C. is one step closer to finding the architectural team for its major renovation project -- and competition is stiff.

After recently submitting their proposals, the three remaining finalist teams have had their design ideas publicly displayed at the current MLK Library and all other D.C. public libraries since Saturday, Feb. 8.

Each team will have one final presentation to persuade the review panel and the public this Saturday, Feb. 15 at 10 a.m. in the MLK Library's Great Hall.

Even if you're not in D.C., you can also share your feedback here.
