Through this project, the Glendale Branch of the Indianapolis Public Library relocated one of the busiest branches in the system, from its previous location in the Glendale Town Center to a new, standalone building embedded within a residential neighborhood. Our design team carried out a wide-reaching community engagement process that influenced the early design decisions for the project, particularly the building massing, material choices, and building programming. The design respects the scale of the surrounding neighborhood while still giving the presence of an important civic and community building.
