AIA Austin WiA Tour – Cedar Park Library

As the first building to be constructed at the heart of the City’s mixed-use Bell District, the new Cedar Park Public Library designed by Lake Flato Architects will be a premier civic destination and catalyst for activity in the developing district. The Library was designed to leverage the natural features of the site including preserving as many mature trees as possible, orienting the building to capture summer breezes, daylight and views, and creating opportunities for outdoor programming. The design concept and use of a hybrid steel and mass timber roof structure revolves around the idea of the Library as the community’s porch – a welcoming place that celebrates and encourages community, civic engagement, and an appreciation for reading and learning.

Safety is a very high priority for the GC and all visitors to the site are required to meet all of the PPE requirements of the job site (see below). We know some architects may be used to somewhat modified PPE requirements compared to workers on site, but that is not the case for this project. PPE Required:

Long pants and substantial closed toed shoes (sneakers, hiking shoes, boots – no heels, no ballet flats, no loafers) – anyone not complying with this requirement will not be able to walk the site. NO EXCEPTIONS.
