With nature as its theme and a social consciousness towards being responsible stewards of the earth’s resources, Reynolds Corners Branch Library underwent a transformation.

The solution erquired a circulation reorganization adn reclamation of unused space such as….
- Creating new front entry giving order to patron movement
- A once interior court open was covered with translucent insulated panels
- The space stripped of its four walls allowing an unobstructed view
- Masonry walls were removed allowing natural light to flood inside
- Recycling of site materials limited contents headed to the local landfill
- Salvaged materials went into the construction reducing new materials
