55,000 sq. ft.
Completion Date:

Client:
New Berlin Public Library
The New Berlin Public Library is on the edge of a large natural area, and is designed to look as though it “belongs on the prairie.”  Notable design elements include a community meeting room with capacity for 150 people, a local history room, patron access to after-hours materials lockers, a drive-up service window, a children’s programming area, a business resource area, a computer lab, quiet reading areas, and special attention to integrated storage and efficient distribution of collections.  The design integrates technology, supporting wireless telephones, wireless networking, patron self-checkout, campus-wide door controls and video cameras, and support for high-bandwidth multi-media communication.  The library features the first installation in the Midwest of a sophisticated automated RFID materials check-in and sorting system.
