Green Valley Library
Architect(s): Barbara Flammang
Address: 2797 N. Green Valley Pkwy.
Year: 1989

The floor plan of this 22,500 square-foot library features five axes radiating from the central rotunda where the circulation desk is located. The three major spokes house the library's main book collections. There are small details found throughout the exterior and interior that make the building interesting. Some of the window details, especially on the north façade, are reminiscent of those found in the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright's. White and dark green tile accents are found throughout the exterior facades. The library is integrated nicely within the site thanks to the landscaping, various pavement treatments, and public art.
