DCPL New Lamond-Riggs Library

1

The new Lamond-Riggs Library will replace an existing 17,930 gsf library with a new two-story 23,500 gsf (appx.) building along South Dakota Avenue in northeast Washington DC.

For decades, the Lamond-Riggs neighborhood has been a stable, quiet residential community, one marked by a rhythm of single-family and duplex homes along gently sloping and curving streets. Yet as with many neighborhoods in Washington DC, change has come in the form of new larger-scale developments—a Walmart Supercenter, a new apartment complex (Art Place at Modern) and soon a large scale retail/entertainment complex directly opposite the library site. In light of those changes, community members stated a desire for a library that is bold and serves as an “extension of the home…”, a library that is forward-looking while also embracing the history of the neighborhood and heritage of its residents.

Community members also noted the existing building’s few windows, its poor visual and physical connection to the outdoors, as well as the lack of natural light. With the site’s primary façade oriented to the southwest, balancing the desire for views to nature and increased natural light while controlling for glare and heat gain is one of the challenges of the project.

The building will house a wide range of spaces including reading areas for adults and teens, a children’s discovery area, a large meeting room, study rooms of varying sizes, an “anything/anytime” space and staff support areas.

The project is being designed to meet LEED v.4 Silver standards.
