The Eureka Library will serve as a primary resource for many residents on the outskirts of the metropolitan region. While still books remain a focus, today’s libraries provide many additional community services. Expanded amenities include an interactive children’s area, community meeting space, quiet reading and private study rooms, a business resource center, and an abundance of comfortable seating generously spaced throughout the library’s collections. Patrons will enjoy reading a book in the outdoor seating area overlooking the library’s landscape planted with native species.
Arcturis’ design team worked closely with library leadership and worked through multiple iterations to craft this vision. Inspired by the local landscape, wildlife, building form, site design, materials, color, and texture harmonize to create an environment that supports the library’s mission of enrichment, enhancement, and expansion to thrive in and around for years to come.
