Location: Fairfax, VA
BeginningĀ as a space needs analysis and program, this project evolved into the design of a new library two blocks away on a site that is a gateway to downtown. The new library, housing approximately 220,000 volumes, is approximately 43,000 SF including a 13,000-SF Virginia Collection.
Constructed over a 200-car, two-level parking garage, the library is the initial component of the new downtown and was designed to be compatible with the historic character of the area.
