College Library 

North Seattle College Library Renovation updated the brutalist structure originally designed by Edward Mahlum & Associates in 1968. The 60,000 square foot library stands strong to this day, yet it required substantial design and technical upgrades.

Enhancing the library’s appeal, new finishes, ceilings, lighting, and casework create an inviting atmosphere in its spaces. The building’s envelope is improved along with new mechanical and electrical systems to meet the code-required energy performance. To ensure seismic safety, micropiles, brace frames, and wider seismic joints were added to the structure.

Project was completed as part of Mithun.
