Everett Library Modernization

Pitt Community College hired MHAworks to reconfigure the Clifton W. Everett Building to accommodate the technology and social functions demanded in modern libraries. The book stacks were reorganized to enable the library’s structure to facilitate loud and quiet multipurpose educational spaces. The library’s first floor features open and vibrant spaces where students can meet, collaborate on projects, and have ample space to study. The second floor of this building is reserved for the library’s book collection and is designated quiet space for students who need a calm environment to work on assignments.

An aspect of the design to note is the incorporation of lighting fixtures throughout the main lobby and the designated quiet space on the second floor. These fixtures not only add to the aesthetics of the space giving the library a modern feel, but also enhance the acoustics to aid in noise reduction.
