Situated in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains just outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico this 32,000 square foot library is the centerpiece of this growing community. The building configuration and internal layout was oriented to capture the sweeping vistas it surrounds, while nestling into a flat level of a very undulating site. The overall building footprint emulates the site contours, enabling the building to "fit", while minimizing unnecessary site grading. The large overhangs provide sun shading throughout the summer, and allow natural light in the winter. Both interior and exterior materials have been chosen for their eco-friendly qualities.
This state-of-the-art library features the latest in technology and library design. Each visitor's experience begins through a gallery space modeled after a pedestrian mall, quaint in look and friendly in scale. The gallery space leads the patron to a main reading area with collections and programming areas (dedicated storytime and craft room, quiet reading room and study areas). A wireless system enhances the flexibility of each space and provides a user friendly experience.
