The
Ferguson Library is in the heart of Stamford, Connecticut. It has long been
a strong resource for the growing, diverse community. The building is of Georgian
style with a 20 year old modern addition. Ten million patrons have utilized
the library in some capacity during the past 20 years. The building is worn
and needs to advance its technological capabilities.
The Children’s Program has doubled and ADA needs to be addressed. While utilizing
the two styles there is an opportunity to enhance both the old and the recent
wings with the changes that are necessary in lighting, graphics, color and furnishings.
The idea of place-making and neighborhoods is a strong element which supports
the Library’s philosophy. Our intent is to develop a path definition while incorporating
graphics and appropriate lighting that will give the building an order that
is clear and informative.
