Craig Gaulden Davis was commissioned to oversee and coordinate a complex renovation and addition of to an existing, 60,000 SF, land-locked main library on Baxter Street in Athens, Georgia. With no room to attain the required spaces on site, CGD recommended the Library enter a joint-use agreement with the adjacent school to utilize excess parking on school property. With this agreement in place, the addition is positioned in front of the existing library on a steeply sloped embankment not suitable for parking. This location affords the
opportunity to reinvent the library entrance and make it more visible from Baxter Street.
• Work phased to allow operation during construction
• Addition houses meeting rooms, café, and stacks
• Accommodates 160 public computers
• Utilizes RFID technology
• CGD designed FF&E
