Leonardtown Library + Garvey Senior Activity Center

The project co-locates a 23,000 sf public library with a 15,800 sf senior center that share about 6,700 sf in public amenity spaces such as a grand lobby, café area and meeting rooms. The community now benefits from a variety of spaces under one roof that are designed to provide a wide array of information resources, education, recreation and socialization. The main design guiding principles were flexibility and adaptability with the goal of resource sharing between the Library and Senior Activity Center.

The Senior Activity Center offers amenity spaces for visitors of all abilities and disabilities. The site design includes pickleball courts, outdoor terraces for both the library and the senior activity center and ample parking for 140 automobiles, electric vehicle charging stations, and even a horse hitch post for the Mennonite and Amish community use!
