library - hillside school

project name:   library
client name:   hillside school
site location:   marlborough, ma
project size:   3,500 sf
completion:   2002
     
challenge:   To adapt the existing dining hall and kitchen into a new school library.
     
solution:   All kitchen equipment was removed and the space became the stack area.   This was the only space in the project that required structural upgrades,

The dining hall was converted into a new reading room housing two dozen computers and worktables.

The circulation desk was centrally located between the stack area and the reading room for security purposes.    Based upon the master plan, the new student yard, complete with pedestrian vehicle drop-off was relocated opposite the new entrance of the library.
