expansions & renovations

Demands on libraries constantly evolve as new trends and technologies emerge and communities grow and change. As centers of communities, libraries must work hard to maintain their vitality as inviting and productive public spaces. We help clients transform existing libraries to embrace changing demographics, the need for new programs, the introduction of new technology and work processes, and the application of green strategies and practices. In many cases, our work centers on reconfiguring spaces and optimizing existing square footage; bringing in more natural light; updating building systems; enhancing efficiency, security, and acoustics; and creating spaces for meeting and informal gathering. Our experience also includes expanding and enlivening library interiors with dynamic and engaging settings that will better serve diverse communities.
