The LINC Library Innovation Center is a tribute to Greeley’s agricultural and American West exploration heritage. The library boasts design features including a weaving 'River of Books', a children's section with a ‘Rolling Storm Cloud Sky’, and a façade displaying a metal river basin with a topography graphic mirroring the local topography.
Considering the primary visual task of the library is reading, the design prioritizes soft, indirect light on both horizontal and vertical planes to enhance visual comfort. Multiple layers of light create rich, textured environments throughout the library. The design team ensured the controls system's versatility by allowing for dimmability and fine-tuning in various zones. The system is so intuitive the librarians can easily operate them. Efficient lighting in back-of-house spaces minimizes energy consumption, enabling the library's front-of-house areas to flourish whilst keeping the overall project LPD within the targeted guidelines.
