St. Cloud Public Library
St. Cloud, MN
In collaboration with prime architects, MS&R, GLTArchitects was the firm in charge of construction administration of the St. Cloud Public Library. The soaring curves of the building and its glass, copper, and granite façade make this structure a landmark in Downtown St. Cloud.
The library contains numerous sustainable features. It is designed to be nearly completely lit by natural daylight during the daytime. Large windows provide an abundance of light and greatly reduce the overall energy bill for the project. The energy systems also are designed using the most current technologies and efficiencies to reduce the impact of this building on the environment. The facility contains granite, copper, and other low maintenance natural materials. The parking areas and the site contain rain gardens and low-maintenance plant materials to contain and control storm water run-off.
