Shoring up a cultural pillar
Article Abstract:
The continuously expanding book collection and library visits' exponential growth require the extension of the existing building of the Denver Central Library in Colorado. The reading space of the library is insufficient. The design accepted by the authorities for the renovation of the library consists of the addition of an eight story structure and the retention of the original building with renovations. The extension of the building adds many features to the library such as more meeting rooms and a video orientation room.
