Today’s libraries are bustling information and technology centers for all ages. Whether renovating a cherished rural or community library or building a new urban facility, our Architectural Services Team designs libraries that meet both high-tech and basic service concerns.

We are equipped to handle the electronic demands of computers, scanners, copiers and printers. We balance the demand for energyefficiency with the desire for natural lighting. We create efficient work spaces for librarians serving patrons while supervising library activities. We choose durable, sound-absorbing materials that create warm, inviting environments. We implement design principals that allow a toddlers’ story hour, a senior citizens’ book club and a college graduate’s on-line job search to occur simultaneously without infringing one on another. And our strong public facilitation process results in a project in which the entire community can take pride.
