Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh Downtown Branch

The state-of-the-art, public library facility provides a vibrant, comfortable, accessible, and organized atmosphere for patrons.  A bi-level space includes the library's business collection, fiction and non-fiction volumes, public internet stations, study seating areas, and a meeting room.  The Foundation Center, which provides resources for grant research, is located on the lower level.  The design concept focuses on the users' tasks, with a dynamic spine of resources including study areas, internet stations, a reference desk, and electronic self-checkout.  The facade is designed to act as a billboard for oversized "super graphic" signage, in addition to creating a cohesive connection with the existing metal panel facade.
