Libraries in Harmony: Greenwich (Conn.) Library

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.

When Greenwich (Conn.) Library’s Byram Shubert branch expanded, it also conslidated asphalt driveways and parking areas, reducing the lot coverage and creating a friendly park space at the entrance.
