Lucile H. Bluford Branch Library

Kansas City, Missouri

The design team collaborated closely with Kansas City Public Library representatives and community stakeholders to revitalize this urban neighborhood branch library to create a vibrant space for study, research, entertainment and interaction. A warm and welcoming interior provides flexibility for display arrangements, furnishings and space allocation over time, without compromising functionality and efficiency for staff. Historic neighborhood artifacts and collections are displayed with finishes appropriate to the local heritage. Furnishings respond to patrons, especially children and teens, with gaming stations, game tables and an increased number of computer tables.
