Stoughton Public Library
City of Stoughton
Stoughton, Massachusetts
Stoughton Public Library opened its doors in 1969, but by the mid-2000s it needed expansion and new systems to support the community’s needs. FA’s design doubled the scale of the library, creating a universally accessible, outward facing facility. The design celebrates and extends the distinctive trussed roof monitor and stairway of the original 1969 library, while taking a sustainable approach to energy-efficient systems, building materials, and finishes.

“The building is wildly successful, and our patronage has significantly increased since our opening day. The building is now a beacon looking out to our historic town green and is setting the tone for future progress in the Town.”

The project was a renovation and addition and as such, the team was able to save half of the original reinforced concrete and masonry structure. The renovation provides an entirely new experience inside and out, while keeping the soul of the original building.
