The Library Commission for the City of Petoskey selected this scheme, developed by Jonathan Lee Architects, for the new public library. It demonstrates adaptive re-use of an existing abandoned historical building, formerly a telephone switching center.
Library Expansion
A new wing for administration and circulation programs was added to the existing building, providing a formal entrance to the library and increasing the community’s library facilities by 27,000 square feet. The rotunda and lantern at the center of the new wing emphasize the importance of the public space.
