At the Middletown Library, DMR designed renovations to reshape the library into a destination that will better serve both the social and intellectual needs of the town.
DMR designed the renovation project to accommodate for new and expanded programming space including a makerspace and business skills lab, café/coffee station with a fireplace lounge, and dedicated history room, home to an extensive collection of local archives and other pieces of New Jersey history; in addition to teen, reading and community rooms. The design considered visual connection through improved sight lines and glass walls; existing natural light; and overall flexibility, with lounge seating, small tables and operable partitions added throughout the space.
