Breaux Bridge Library:

Design Challenge:

Provide a new public library in a downtown park setting with a very limited site.

Design Solution:

To provide the required site footprint we worked with the City, the Parish and the Library Board to cobble together a site able to house all of the programmed areas.  The building is very traditional in its use of building elements but the composition is unique given the challenges posed by the site.  We gave the building a very prominent entry feature and provided for unique geometry at the street corner.  The interior is very modern, colorful and dynamic and represents the Best Practices in Library design.  We consulted with Denelle C. Wrightson A.I.A., NCARB, LEED AP of Dewberry for all layout and design details.
