The Atlanta-FultonPublic Library System announces the grand opening of the new 10,000-square-foot
Palmetto Library, which will open to the public with a celebration on Monday,
December 15 at 11:00 a.m. We would love to see as many of our patrons as possible at this event!
This is the second library to open as part of Phase I of the Library Building Program. Houser Walker Architecture provided design/engineering services for the new library. New South Construction provided construction management services, and Heery/Russell provided program management.
The Palmetto Library is imagined as a series of ‘rooms’ or small buildings nestled within a semi-rural landscape. Drawing on vernacular structures from the region, it features large rooms, corresponding to the major functions of the Library. A nearby barn provided inspiration for the overall form of the building, which responds to specific views, solar characteristics, and functional requirements of each defined room. Materials used for the exterior of the library draw upon the legacy of building in the entire Palmetto/Chattahoochee Hills region, while reinforcing the civic character of the structure. The structure will age well and give a rich patina to the building as time passes.
As with all of the new libraries, a public art project featuring a local artist will be on permanent display for the community. The sculpture, On a Roll, was created by Andrew T. Crawford for the Palmetto Library. Made entirely of bent steel, this work is loosely
based on the imagery of an old tractor that has been left in a field. The
sculpture responds to the facility in that its concept is a reflection of the
underlying architectural theme. The
structure of the building is based on the reorganization of the forms found in
agricultural buildings, mainly barns.
