D.C. Neighborhood Libraries

It is dated 2009–20 (anticipated).
A bold design vision to reinvigorate neighborhoods by transforming library branches into interactive civic hubs. Deteriorating libraries were renovated, co-located with other community spaces, or replaced with innovative architecture by leading architects, who were charged with delivering flexible, sustainable, and connected buildings. Circulation more than tripled and restored hope in what government can accomplish to make significant improvements in the built environment and social fabric of neighborhoods.
