Opelika Public Library

The City of Opelika commissioned a contemporary public library facility and gathering place for city events, intended as a destination not only for local citizens, but the region as well. City officers and staff expressed a desire for the library to have multifunctional spaces that would serve to host community events. The 25,000 square foot single level structure contains a 250-seat auditorium, multipurpose rooms (one serving as a storm shelter), offices, storage, computer labs, main book stacks with glass separated, yet adjacent children’s and teen areas, a “maker space”, and regional genealogy collection with an independent mechanical system to maintain specific humidity and temperature requirements. The design allows ample sight lines to surrounding spaces from the main circulation desk integrating interior storefront glazing, allowing each space to feel visually connected to one another. Exterior glazing allows for views from inside, and conversely, engage the interior from exterior spaces in the evening. The open and inviting structure holds expanses of glass for light and views, not only from within, but highlighting the building as a glowing landmark and beacon of knowledge - night or day.
