The library features three towers including 40 foot ceilings, slate floors, a 35-foot tall brick/stone fireplace,  octagonal construction and  over 400 tons of structural steel.   The exterior of the building is a limestone and brick veneer, custom exterior insulated window systems and an aluminum, standing-seam roof completes the building.  The mechanical system is a central plant system with a chiller, boiler, and air-handling units with DDC controls.  The electrical system features an under-floor duct system to provide data/power to the open circulation areas of the library.

The library was completed over three months ahead of schedule and received the American Libraries annual “Room to Grow” award, showcasing new library construction efforts throughout the United States.
