Fresno Pacific University Library
Fresno, CA

Group 4’s design for the new 65,000 square foot Fresno Pacific Library will, when completed, be the true center of campus life, expressing a bold vision for the future of this growing campus. The contemporary design builds upon university values of simplicity, honesty, and harmony with nature. The library will become a center for study, teaching, and faculty development as well as traditional library services. The ground floor will provide highly interactive “people spaces” including a study commons, a multipurpose auditorium, and an Internet café, with many of these spaces designed for use independent of library hours. Upper levels will house staff, administration, collections, archives, technology training, computers, and space for reading, study, and tutoring.
