The new Libbie Mill Library is a 60,000 SF, three-story library that includes approximately 40,000 SF of library space and approximately 20,000 square feet of shell space. Inside, the library contains a large collection of books, computer stations, various meeting spaces, and a digital media lab. Throughout the space portions of the mechanical and plumbing systems remain exposed, requiring a very detailed installation. The mechanical systems installed by ColonialWebb included various noise reduction methods necessary for the library environment, inclusive of a fully isolated mechanical room slab on the third floor. As a part of the Building Automation System, the building includes an energy dashboard that is visible in the first-floor lobby or can be accessed online.
