This public library support services center, formerly an office/logistics facility, was a 23,000 SF time-sensitive renovation, retrofitted to support the library system’s daily functions.
The relocation of Library administration and support from the main library downtown to a new satellite location allows for expansion of public services. The new center houses the primary infrastructure for Automated Materials Handling (AMH) equipment, staff training, and conference facilities. Additional program includes offices and open workspaces, conference rooms, interior and exterior employee break areas, a training room, storage, and loading for book deliveries and processing. The building also includes the library’s main server room and IT support.
