Berkeley Central Library

Listening to teen voices to improve a Berkeley icon

Noll & Tam Architects provided space planning and design services for interior improvements to the historic Central Library in downtown Berkeley. Working closely with staff and the community, we developed design solutions to improve public spaces. A key component was the renovation of the teen area. Construction was phased in order to keep the library open during construction.
