Omni Architects was selected to design the fourth branch of the Lexington Public Library, the Eagle Creek Branch, to accommodate the needs of the modern library. At that time, this included provisions for computers, videotapes, CDs, books on tape and paperbacks, as well as 63,000 books. Following requests from the Library Building Committee, the design for this branch recalls memories of older neighborhood libraries while employing a form distinctive from nearby retail structures. Located on one of Lexington’s main suburban arteries, the branch is situated on the site to provide a central, ceremonial front lawn flanked by extensive parking. The entrance is centered in a symmetrical facade. The formal landscaping and the overall building massing are intended to reference the traditional ‘Carnegie’ libraries.
