Wilkens Library, Nickerson Cape Cod History Archives

Renovations:
Due to space limitations and environmental and security concerns, the existing space dedicated to the Nickerson Collection was no longer adequate to meet the needs of this expanding collection. New climate controlled space within existing library including display area, classroom and reading room and archive room.

Feasibility Study:
Four schemes were developed with varying program and sizes.

Ray Memorial Library

Franklin MA

The Ray Memorial Library, an historic building, was originally completed in 1904. This made updating accessibility and services to the building a major concern for the design process. To make the necessary improvements while also expanding the library’s current bookstacks and making space for new programs, an addition was planned for the southwest corner of the building. The addition allowed for expansion of the library’s bookstacks, while also allowing for the addition of a meeting room and young adult room.
