This is the sixth library to open as part of Phase I of the Library Building Program. Cooper Carry, in association with Vines Architecture, provided design and engineering services for the new library. Moss & Associates provided construction management services, and Heery/Russell is the program management team.
The beautiful two-level library creates a
defining front porch to the Alpharetta City Center and embraces the park-like
setting as it welcomes patrons to the variety of spaces and places within. The
two levels of the building both feature public entries, and are connected
internally by an open central stair. The library features convenient access to
upper level collections, computer areas, reading, meeting, study and conference
rooms. The lower level includes a variety of children’s program space, an
auditorium, lobby and support spaces accessible through a central plaza entry.
The brick exterior, cast stone features, large windows and extensive landscaping
create a welcoming environment consistent with the ongoing growth of Alpharetta
City Center.
In November 2008, Fulton County voters
passed the Library Bond Referendum which will greatly enhance all of the
county’s libraries, and includes 8 new branch libraries and 2 expansion
projects.
We would love to see as many of our patrons there as possible so please come join in the festivities or just come to check out some brand new books, movies and music all day long!
