Hagen Ranch Road Branch Library
Delray Beach, Florida
Construction Cost: $8M
Completion Date: 2006
Size: 34,000 SF
PGAL designed this new 34,000 SF library which sits on a 15-acre site. The sharp geometric forms and warm earth tone colors contrast with site vegetation and create visibility from the roadway. The entrance wall and wall facing the roadway are tilted 30° to further emphasize the building's geometry. The children's library area has jungle theme with a "Tree of Knowledge" located at entry to the area. The tree motif lends itself to use at the building's entry for donor recognition with "donor leaves".
