The Rosewood Elementary library addition gives this 400-student school a space better matched to how its students learn today, replacing a 1930s library that no longer fit its teaching approach. The new library is a place for gathering, collaborating, and inspiring rather than simply a place to store books. Daylight fills a flexible reading room that adapts to the changing needs of students and faculty.

The 4,480-square-foot renovation and addition includes a reading room with flexible furniture, soft seating, conferencing space, and a workroom and maker space, along with supporting offices and storage. The daylight-filled design stays flexible enough to accommodate the school’s evolving needs over time.
