The reconstruction of a worn, 45-year-old, 95,000 square-foot library has resulted in a completely reimagined building. A 25,000 square-foot expansion encloses the formerly open entry with a glass atrium space and adds a partial third floor.

The design also incorporates a number of sustainable design strategies, some of the most prominent of which include solar panels and a green roof.
