Award of Merit, Cultural Worship: Fullerton Public Library
Completed in July 2011, this $7.1-million library remodel and expansion included adding a community space, technology and teen services, a kitchen, a café and a bookstore as well as giving an overall face-lift to the aging 1970 building.
The project designer also expanded the local history area and added new restrooms and a technology center. New and improved finish materials were included, seismically sound shelving was built and energy-efficient lighting was installed.
