Library Design Services

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 experienced in handling the electronic demands of

• Computers
• Scanners
• Copiers
• Printers

We balance the demand for energy efficiency 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.
