As part of the Charleston County Public Library’s referendum for 21st-century libraries, the Support Center relocates CCPL Administration, training and conference facilities, and central Automated Materials Handling to a consolidated facility. This project began as a practical renovation of a dreary precast concrete industrial commerce warehouse that fast became a vibrant workplace design that asserts even the back-of-house functions of a library support center can, and should, be celebrated. The 23,000 SF renovated building includes offices, training classrooms, conference rooms, employee support areas, central IT, library cataloging and acquisitions, central supply storage, and automated materials handling and distribution to all branches. The renovation design also provides innovative solutions to dry floodproofing, daylighting, and upgrades to the existing building – blending beauty and practicality to provide a humane, uplifting work environment.
