The renovation of Salem Public Library aims to enhance accessibility and safety while transforming the once-brutalist building into a bright, inviting community space.
A partnership with library staff established a vision for a safe, flexible, and welcoming environment, integrating natural light to connect the facility with the community.
With a strict budget, the design team prioritized cost-effective solutions that improve seismic safety and life-safety while remaining community-focused in their vision.
The reimagined layout improves the library experience, consolidating staff and public spaces, and designing distinct zones for various activities, enhancing functionality and flow.
