In 2013 the Rural Studio at Auburn University began working on a new library in Newbern Alabama. In the Fall of 2014 I was brought on to make their designs a reality.
Through the following months we did tolerance tests, tweaked the design, and cut over 300 sheets of prefinished plywood to outfit the interior of the library.
All of the shelves, window trim, ceiling, even the table tops were fabricated in our shop in Auburn then carefully loaded into a truck and driven 3 hours to Newbern. This dance was done pickup truck load by pickup truck load until the interior was finished. It was about 20 trips in all.
This was an great project and I am so happy I got to be a part of creating this amazing space. All of these images are from the Rural Studio blog found here: http://newbernlibrary.ruralstudioblogs.org.
