Cockrill Design & Planning CDP

East Knoxville / Burlington Branch Public Library

Knoxville, TN

Construction Cost: $1,300,000
Completion Date: 2006.10

Construction began with the removal of large sections of the building envelope to open the dark interior spaces to light and views. A portion of the existing roof was removed and new steel erected to create the two-story lobby. The concrete wall of the meeting room was built to match the existing angle of the side parking lot.

In order to accommodate a large entry plaza and garden, tons of old asphalt parking was cut and removed. New brick was laid in a simple pattern while cement stucco was employed to cover the exterior masonry walls of the old structure.
