GLASTONBURY LIBRARY

Glastonbury, CT

Recognizing that the way we research, learn and communicate is evolving, this project refreshes the Welles-Turner Memorial Library to best serve the current and future needs of the growing Town of Glastonbury. The library is comprised of flexible spaces that allow for small group individual study, large group instruction, and innovative thinking. A central commons space was created and provided with movable furniture that may be re-arranged to seat an audience of over one hundred. The children's area is enlarged, provided with age appropriate stack heights, increased daylight and access to a newly paved children's terrace. The relocated young adult area is furnished for small group individual study and technological collaboration with direct access to the new "maker space".
