Mendon Public Library
Honeoye Falls, NY
When HBT Architects was hired, the Town of Mendon and the Mendon Library had been working towards creating a new library for over ten years. With a successful bond vote and the receipt of a NYS Library Construction Grant the plan took a dramatic leap forward.
BIG IDEA
A consolidation of RIT’s various health related programs under one roof in an adaptive re–use of current space and addition of new space.

“The use of natural materials and contextual inspiration is an important part of the project’s success. The building ‘fits’ within the context of the area reinforcing its central role of the community.”
“After years of trying to move our project forward, HBT was hired and provided us with creative and affordable ideas that we had not considered before. Involving us at every step, they designed a library that can now provide enhanced services and one that our entire community is proud of.”
