This renovation project for CHPL breathed new life into a 1960s-era library, transforming it into a modern, accessible, and highly functional community hub. The comprehensive redesign focused on reconfiguring existing spaces to better align with the evolving demands of contemporary libraries and their patrons.

"This is a great reallocation of existing space and highlights the interesting building design, plus greatly improves accessibility while better meeting the community’s needs!"

– Molly DeFosse, Chief Finance & Facilities Officer
