Join us for a site tour of the City of Norman’s new Central Branch Library. The 78,000 square foot facility furthers Norman’s citizen-initiated proposal “Norman Forward” to fund and create quality of life projects for the community. The library serves as a new town hall with shared community spaces, conference rooms, technology labs, genealogy research workspace, and multipurpose rooms that can accommodate a wide range of community programs. Learning opportunities are supported by highly flexible spaces for collaborative learning, new education models, digital literacy, and information sharing, including a makerspace along with traditional media.
Careful site planning and solar orientation respond to environmental conditions while allowing for porous access at the ground level from three entry points. The courtyard serves as an extension of Acres Park and provides outdoor programming for the highly visible children’s library. It features a commissioned sculpture entitled “Unbound” created by London artist Paul Cocksedge. Seeking LEED-NC v.3 Gold certification, the project features a visible stormwater management system with interpretive signage to educate visitors about the process, optimized daylighting and shading, and orientation of the building on the site to mitigate solar gain.
