The Fulton County Library System recently re-opened the newly renovated Dogwood Library. Located at 1838 Donald Lee Hollowell Pkwy NW in Atlanta, the facility is the 8th library in Phase II of the Library Building Program to re-open, since construction began in late summer of 2018, according to a press release.
The design/build team of Hogan Construction, mcmillan|pazdan|smith architecture and Chasm Architecture provided all design, engineering and construction services for the newly renovated library. Heery/Russell, a Joint Venture was the program management team. Phase II of the Library Building Program consists of 23 library branch renovations and the renovation of the Central Library and Administration HQ for the Library System.
The improvements to the Dogwood Library will allow for patrons and residents of the surrounding neighborhood and beyond to continue their use of the library as a community gathering space, educational centerpiece and technology and information hub. In addition to the various library services, the Library has partnered with the Fulton County Department of Arts and Culture to install public art throughout the library, as part of Fulton County’s commitment to supporting the arts in every County facility.
