Located in Augusta’s Historic district, the site chosen for the new library bridges areas which are economically and racially diverse and hopes to encourage downtown development perpendicular to the river. The site is surrounded by an eclectic collection of architectural styles (13 different styles within one block of the site). CGD’s design is historically sensitive through the use and arrangement of materials, scale, and forms while creating a 21st century library that reflects current uses and contemporary architectural thought.
