Tuesday, March 14, 2006After first providing a through feasibility study which concluded a new library facility was in order, RSC Architects assisted the Town of Ridgefield to design and construct a facility which is the centerpiece of the community.
The architectural team creatively eliminated the need for elevator access to the public facility by using the sloped site to its advantage. The resulting design is a maximized single level, open floor plan accented by decorative exposed brick columns adding a sense of stateliness and importance to the library. A centralized administration area with an expansive atrium not only minimizes staff requirements, but also acts as the hub which connects the personable and easily identifiable areas of the library. The new design features a larger children’s area that is separate, yet accessible to the main library and has an adjoining multi-purpose room for program activities. The focal point of the library is the traditional fireplace in the adult reading area which enhances the warm and inviting atmosphere and muted color palette. A separate meeting room provides space for multi-use that can be used by the public after library hours. Finally, additional parking was created to accommodate the higher level of traffic to the facility. |
