Michigan City Public Library
Michigan City Public Library offers 35,000 square feet on one level with parking for 70 cars. The building provides space to house a book collection of 147,000 volumes, seats for 208 readers, and a meeting room with seats for 200 persons.
The exterior walls are translucent fiberglass allowing sunlight to enter during the day and creating a soft glow outside at night. Further, the windowless exterior walls direct attention to the interior courtyard with its honey locust trees, Virginia creeper and shrubbery. The courtyard is open to the elements and is enclosed by glass walls. Doors into the courtyard permit access by library visitors. The sawtoothed roof is divided into seven sections comprised of long clearstory windows designed for additional natural lighting.
