About

    EXPANDED ACCESSIBILITY
    An elevator at the main entry replaces multiple ramps, while upgrades to restrooms and the rear entry ramp enhance ease of access.

    IMPROVED CONNECTIVITY
    Removing walls around the central stair unifies the building visually, creating clear sightlines across all three levels and improving wayfinding.

    OPTIMIZED LAYOUT
    Reorganized spaces promote collaboration and efficiency, consolidating underutilized areas and creating shared spaces for study, technology, and meetings.

    FUTURE-READY DESIGN
    The redesign accommodates current needs while planning for future growth, ensuring alignment with a full mechanical system replacement.

    MODERNIZED EXPERIENCE
    The refreshed library fosters a dynamic, engaging learning environment, serving as a central hub for academic success and innovation.
