Located on a prominent corner in Downtown Evansville, this library project incorporates an existing three-story historic building, which houses administrative offices and a public meeting room. The 100,000 square foot limestone-clad new wing has two floors that include collections in open stacks, public service areas, computer labs and staff work areas.

A cafè opens onto a large courtyard and a children's imagination area opens onto a children's garden. Ample seating in the reading areas includes intimate bay window nooks. Parking for 200 was accomplished on this urban site by providing 140 spaces below grade. Twin entry pavilions serve equally those arriving by car and by foot and lead to a central double height atrium space.
