Pompano Library and Media Arts Cultural Center 

Pompano Beach, FL

Weaving together two distinct programs, the Pompano Beach Library and Cultural Center demonstrates designed opportunities for meeting and gathering on one site.

Located at the heart of a community where the average annual income is under $40,000 per family, Pompano Beach Library and Cultural Center was developed to provide broad access to knowledge, technology, and 21st century tools for creativity.

By combining a state-of-the-art public library, with equal parts youth and adult services, and a cutting-edge cultural center, the building’s integration allows for both distinct and joined spaces. This combination gives shape to a teaching and learning center necessary for the public realm’s future.
