LOWESTOFT LIBRARY
Suffolk


Lowestoft Library

Judges comments:

Colourful Mondrian style panels disguise the stark 1970s architecture of this centrally located library. Once inside the visitor is greeted by a vibrant colourful library where video projections are used effectively in the entrance hall and stairwells. The involvement of local young people has led to a dramatically coloured teen zone.

In summary, a user friendly and colourful library with a caring staff who have forged close links with a deprived community.
