Diversifying Activity in a Public Park

Description

The City of Independence was looking to extend the library’s mission and create an environment where residents can access vital services, engage in lifelong learning, and enjoy cultural and recreational activities. In 2024, the Flexible Facilities Program Grant allowed Independence to realize its goal. To serve as a hub for essential services, the Independence Library and Community Learning Center integrates the library, youth center, community room, food pantry/teaching kitchen. This project represents a significant step towards building a more equitable, connected, and vibrant community. High-quality, reliable broadband internet will ensure modern infrastructure for all. The ICLC will provide comprehensive services and facilities to enable health monitoring, educational support, food security, workforce development, and digital access to address critical community needs.

Expanding Access in a Small Community

Description

Built in 1901 and named for the lumber baron who gifted it to the town of Stanley, the existing library is a time-tested structure that exhibits classic regional craftsmanship. It has served a multicultural community for over one hundred years, surviving at least one fire and earning its place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
The proposed addition is seen as an elaboration on this legacy, and as a response to the evolving rituals of the contemporary library. More than tripling in size and introducing a multitude of new media capabilities, the expanded library promises to facilitate rich and diverse community engagements. Along with stacks and digital resources, the addition will house a large Community Room conducive to—among other things—town gatherings, shelter during storms, maker space activities and storytime for local school children.

Supercharging a Polytechnic Engine on Campus

Description

An austere masonry workhorse built in the 1970s, Heritage Hall is being reimagined as a state-of-the-art, multi-disciplinary academic engine, conducive to a plurality of expanded uses and improvisations. Double-height central spaces work to promote a sense of togetherness and health amidst the building’s diverse activities. Open vertical circulation invites visitors to experience Heritage in its totality, traversing four floors and numerous innovative programs on public display.
