Charlotte & William Bloomberg Medford Public Library / Schwartz/Silver Architects
Backing into a steep slope, the library presents a civic-scaled facade on commercial High Street and a less prominent single story facing the single-family homes uphill. The front and rear entries, both fully accessible, feed into a stacked lobby that connects the primary program elements: Acoustically separated spaces for adults, teens, and children; as well as a suite of flexible spaces including a Multipurpose Room, Maker Room, Tech Lab, and Gallery.
