Lake Stevens to welcome sustainable new library project

Lake Stevens is on the brink of a significant upgrade to its public infrastructure with the forthcoming construction of a new library, a collaboration between Sno-Isle Libraries and Seattle-based BuildingWork architects. The library, first introduced to the public in June 2023, has recently achieved a crucial milestone with the submission of a land use application to the city.

Spanning an estimated 14,000 – 16,000 square feet, the library’s design is the culmination of thorough space needs studies. The two-story, mass-timber structure will cater to various needs, including designated spaces for children, teens, computing, and larger events. Notably, sustainability lies at the heart of the design, with plans for LEED certification demonstrating a strong commitment to environmental consciousness.
