When the Addison, Illinois community dreamed of an improved library, Mortenson was ready to make those desires a reality. The new 54,000 square foot facility features numerous study rooms, a green roof, a parent-teacher resource area, and an early learning literacy area. Its brick, stone, and glass exterior complement neighboring buildings, including the Village Hall and Police Station. The new building utilizes sustainable design features with elements such as a garden roof that reduces the amount of energy required for cooling while also reducing the amount of stormwater runoff, eliminating the need for a retention pond. These added benefits will allow the library the necessary space for future additions.
The library consists of two full floors and a partial third floor. The entry, Circulation Department, Children’s Services, and meeting rooms are located on the first floor, while Adult Services are on the second floor. The third-floor houses Technology Services and Administration.
Mortenson has worked well with our architects and communicated well with our board. Everyone is happy!
