Renovated Madison Public Library
Tuesday, September 3, 5:30 pm
$0 Members, $7 Nonmembers
Location: 201 W. Mifflin St., Madison
Registration is required
The Madison Central Public Library project was an expansion and remodel that utilized the existing structure and retained approximately 50% of the original exterior in the process of transforming the 1960s building to represent 21st century library design trends. The project is currently pursuing LEED Silver certification.
Large glazed curtain walls were cut in to the existing exterior to substantially increase daylighting. The under-utilized lower level was opened up to receive natural light and transformed into a playful children's area complete with radiant heat floors and play nooks under the stairs.
The first and second floors have been completely remodeled, with collaboration and private spaces, an elevated teen area, and raised access floors for flexibility and to feature the original coffered structure. The 1965 Aaron Bohrod mural on the second floor was protected in place during construction and is now prominently displayed at eye level due to the raised floors.
There was an addition on the third floor that added a patio to enjoy the large green roof , large meeting rooms, new offices, an art gallery and the Madison Room, a grand space for public events.
