Sarasota, Florida, USA

The Alfred R. Goldstein Library is state-of-the-art campus library that aims to transform how users engage with the library’s collections and services. This 46,000-square-foot library provides an airy space for creative collaboration and, unlike many libraries, discussion and interactivity. The floor-to-ceiling glass flanking and a glass-enclosed book room contribute to the library’s light filled, open layout. Additionally, the glass and curtain wall integrated into the design met specific code requirements for high wind and potential airborne debris. The end result is a stunning architectural statement for the community that makes the most of modern and natural amenities.
