High Point Library

Expanding community and library services in a new space featuring distinct areas for readers of all ages.

The new 7,000-square-foot High Point Branch library opened in June, 2004. The branch creates a civic focal point as the High Point neighborhood develops a renewed identity within the city. The project draws on Northwest Modern precedents to create a transition from the surrounding residential neighborhood to a growing cluster of community services and businesses. Artist Steven Gardner created terra cotta panels depicting astrological myths from diverse cultural traditions. The library plan grows from a ‘flow through entry’ which creates a civic entry court on 35th Ave and a more informal entry and reading plaza to the east. Pavers, stone and concrete accents stretch through the lobby to link the two entry courts.
