Florence Library
PBWS is providing architectural, interior design, and overall project management services for a new public library located on the 2nd floor of the existing Florence Firestone County Building.
The library includes a large Reading Room, with furniture and finishes. In addition, there is a staff workspace, storage, public self-checkout stations, service desks, restrooms, and building storage. Some of the design elements include:
• Enclosing the quiet study room in glass to provide visibility into the activities taking place inside while also creating separate acoustic zones that keep noisy and quiet areas separate.
• Interior finishes are modern and timeless with colors that reflect the unique identity of the community.
