Columbus Metropolitan Library – Whitehall Branch

SMBH designed the 19,000 SF facility with the ground floor on two levels, as the building is carved into the landscape. The roof structure has several inclined planes with openings carved in the roof over exterior plazas and entrances and three skylights carved into the roof above interior spaces. The exterior cladding is a glass curtain wall to maximize available light in the space and other materials to match the urban setting.
