Library Media Center
Today’s students gravitate towards flexible spaces that best suit their immediate study needs. The new library media center is an evolution into a more social, diverse learning area where 21st century learning activities take place.
The Coxsackie-Athens Student Help (CASH) Bar offers students and faculty a designated area for technology assistance.
Soft, flexible seating, and plenty of power outlets support varied learning modalities at the library.
The design provides ample space with places for both individual and collaborative study.
Mobile furniture, whiteboards, and bookcases are easily reconfigured to accommodate a variety of events and meeting sizes.
Perforated panels, solar shades, and various glazing types help filter direct sunlight and reduce glare within the room.
The media center appears flexible, open, and inviting. The minimal yet impressively impactful façade extension not only adds a contemporary, timeless, and elegant beauty to the building but also blends with the existing buildings seamlessly."

Natural Daylighting
The exterior façade includes large windows that allow natural light to brighten the entire space. The design enhances natural light, carefully considering how it enters and illuminates the space to provide a positive physiological effect for students.
