BCA's design for the Algonquin Area Public Library Features an exterior children's program area at the rear of the library. The program area is linked to the front of the library with a paved pathway that curves around the library.

In the summer of 2004, a pergola will provide a shady spot to rest and to enjoy the view along the path. The wood and metal latticework will provide support for climbing plants.

These design studies were done to enable us to analyze the shadow patterns cast by the overhead latticework.

Click on the link to the shade study animation to see how the shadows will appear throughout the day on the 21st of June.
