Design on a Budget

The second installment in our Library Video Series addresses designing libraries on a budget. Kodet’s Mandi Tauferner and Kyle Palzer discuss ways libraries can be money conscious and how architects can create cost-effective but beautiful designs for libraries on a budget. They mention a recently completely project by Kodet Architectural Group, Pleasant Hill Library, and point out aspects of the design that were considered and that gave Dakota County the biggest bang for their buck in their addition + remodel.

Library Trends

Kicking off our 5 part video series on libraries, Library Trends is the first topic our experts here at Kodet address. Today, libraries are uniquely positioned to reimagine how they might better serve communities in the future.  No longer are they simply a place for holding books and information, but rather a hub for community programs, learning, and social interactions.  From virtual reality to hands-on cooking classes and everything in between, libraries can offer communities new ways to see, experience and understand ideas like never before. By embracing new technology and thinking outside the box when it comes to unique program offerings, the 21st Century library is on the forefront of societal trends and keeps pace with an ever changing world. Pleasant Hill Library in Hastings, MN is the library featured in our library video series, for more information on that project – click here!
