Hacker Architects completes Major Renovation of Salem Public Library
December 22, 2022
Hacker Architects has recently completed the renovated project of the Salem Public Library . Originally built in the 1970s, the 96,000-square-foot library was due for a renovation to bring its structural resilience and building systems up to modern standards. When funding came through for seismic renovation, accessibility improvements and life-safety updates, the city and library saw a rare chance to address some of the additional challenges encountered by staff and library patrons in their aging concrete building and outdated spaces.
