In the booming Raleigh suburb of Fuquay-Varina (pronounced FEW-kway var-ee-na if you are interested) rises a new community library that is about way more than books. Interior and exterior gathering spaces encourage community use year-round and the site orientation strategically maximizes daylight and passive solar.

Designed for today’s needs and for future expansion, the current linear form will gracefully become an L-shaped building to house future programming.

Structurally, this 1-story, 9,800 SF library is constructed with structural steel framing supporting a metal deck roof system with first floor concrete slab-on-grade. Who’s ready to start a book club?
