Marion Public Library
Marion, IA
Working with the Library’s Construction Manager, Bush Construction and Engberg Anderson are designing a 50,000 sf library in historic Uptown Marion. Designed to fit the historic surroundings while incorporating the latest in family-friendly collections, technology, and reading spaces, the library is the central cultural and social destination supporting a community that is both high-tech and art-focused. While substantially larger than the previous buildings, the design incorporates the welcoming and comfortable spaces that respond to children, teens, families, and seniors. All of this is planned to fit a tight site and a tight budget. Construction will be completed in early 2022.
