Finegold Alexander Architects is proud to announce the Jones Library renovation and addition is underway! The Town of Amherst signed with the Fontaine Brothers as the General Contractor.

This historic library renovation comes after Finegold Alexander completed a feasibility study in 2016. Jones Library in Amherst, Massachusetts, designed by Putnam & Cox in 1928, was originally built to look like a residence, with its robust stone facade and distinctive gambrel roofline.

The design features a comprehensive renovation of the existing historic building and a three-story addition to the rear. The expanded library will meet contemporary needs and address accessibility issues while introducing upgrades to security, the HVAC system, and technology.

Our team is thrilled to continue working with the Town of Amherst on this exciting renovation!
