ARCHITECTURE
- LARAMIE COUNTY LIBRARY BUILDING'S CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
Community centered design
The conceptual design for the new Central Library
for Laramie County evolved out of a series of public meetings and
focus groups aimed at establishing the aspirations of the Laramie
County community. Public meetings clarified the unique character of
the City of Cheyenne. As a capital city, it has a strong urban and
civic character, yet its people embrace the wide open spaces of the
surrounding landscape. Sited on the seam between the downtown and
residential areas, the library takes cues from its civic neighbors
while nodding to less urban precincts to the north and west.
