Libraries in Harmony: Collin College

While not necessarily part of a building proper, the landscaping of a library has a big impact on the user’s experience. It can also have a big impact on the greenness of a construction project by reducing pollution and promoting biodiversity.

The Collin College Central Park Campus Library in McKinney, Texas, was built in Jeffersonian style on a lush green quadrangle that features an outdoor amphitheater. The library is built in cast stone and brick with tall columns and arched windows.
