As part of the Branch Library Improvement Program, PTA completed a full renovation of the library including seismic, life safety, MEP, and accessibility upgrades, converting the historic jewel into a modern, technology-rich, LEED Gold-certified public resource. A small, contemporary addition incorporates a stair and new elevator to provide access for all. Sheathed in metal panels similar in color and warmth to the library’s original terra cotta, the new building is situated in a small side courtyard and designed to complement the historic building while remaining visually distinct.
