Project Description
The state-of-the-art library serves as a model of successful joint-use public partnerships between municipalities and academic institutions, creating an iconic campus and community center that delivers universal access for all patrons and staff through a lively village-inspired motif. Designed to function as a 360-degree foreground building that also embraces the decidedly joint-use ideal of high-efficiency operations - the library takes its inspiration from nature - in its many forms and functions - to deliver on its high-profile, high-performance building requisite.
