The Library







The library is an atrium space with the administration offices and storage room overlooking it from the second floor. Windows are located along the south and east sides with overhangs. This allows a lot of light into the area for easy reading and studying. This will also heat the space in the winter. The bookshelves are designed and aligned in a way to direct winds through this large space to help cool it in the summer. The area also holds a study area and glass interior walls to allow light to penetrate into other areas of the building. There is also a quick formz drawing of the layout for the bookshelves.
