Windsor Public Library
Windsor, CT
The library is located on the Town Green with very little site available for development. The centerpiece of the library is a historic 1777 residence, which had been previously added on to in the 70's. The preliminary design challenge was to re-incorporate all the wasted space within the existing library to minimize the size of the needed addition. The existing two-story courtyard was in-filled, although an added upper clerestory window at the roof and a glass floor allows natural light to continue to fill the library. At the east end of the existing building, where the library had only a crawl space below, the roof and first floor structure was supported and a basement excavated below. Interior reorganization provided the library with a 25% increase in space. In addition to reorganization, additions where added onto both sides of the existing library.
