Designs for the new library and events space include indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, a lakeside outdoor amphitheater, and a performance stage.
The designs come from Hunton-Brady Architects and Adjaye Associates, a group headed by British architect Sir David Adjaye, who recently built the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C.
If you want more of a sneak peek into the new library, attend the City Commission meeting on Monday, Nov. 13, where the Winter Park City Council will vote on whether or not to move forward with the designs.
The Winter Park Library and Event Center plans to open by 2020.
