This magnificent two-story structure replaces an older and understated facility. RSC Architects’ (RSC) new design exudes stateliness and importance, appropriate to a public venue.
Completed in 2003, the new 24,183 SF facility stands prominently in the community, providing a variety of media, programs and public spaces. The interior design features soothing, muted colors and Mission-style furnishings. Areas within the library are easily identifiable and include a main reading room, a children’s multipurpose tower, and a public meeting room. The second floor houses a business resource center, which is open to the public and nearby corporations for meeting space and educational seminars.
A unique design element includes the architects’ placement of the children’s area in a turret to create a whimsical and playful area. The space also opens to an outdoor patio, providing more area for specialized children’s programs.
