Library Experience

Grimm + Parker Architects has recently planned and designed over 20 public libraries. With over 16 years of award-winning public library experience, combined with over 36 years of public architecture experience, our team is especially qualified to provide high quality library design services. 

We are abreast of the latest trends in library services and technologies. We share our specialized knowledge and expertise in library furnishings, library lighting, library acoustics, and library technologies with our clients. Our award-winning library designs are not only attractive and inspiring, but highly functional, user friendly, easy to maintain, and cost-effective.
 
Our extensive library experience allows us to share valuable insights into state-of-the-art library design and construction with our clients. We have developed expertise on issues such as construction costs, operating costs, mechanical systems, maintenance concerns, energy consumption, technology integration, and library security systems. 

This expertise allows us to design public libraries that can be built both on time and within a client’s specified budget with few construction changes.  We have worked closely with library boards, library staff, and Friends of the Library in numerous library systems to help them achieve their visions for their systems.
