Following a generous donation, the vision was to combine library functions into a student-centered commons where collaborative learning and interaction became the focus. The design incorporates a “crossroads” theme, reflecting the junction where libraries stand today — analog vs. digital, books vs. computers. This theme finds expression in building massing, functional organization, and material palettes. Pixilation of fitted QR codes in glass and sun screens highlight transparency and complexity linear paneling and solidity recall traditional materials.
