Spanish River Library and
Community Center
Boca Raton, FL
City of Boca Raton | 43,000 SF | 2008
The City of Boca Raton wanted their newest library to be designed as example of the Mediterranean Revival style established by Addison Mizner, which is prominent throughout the city. Harvard Jolly worked closely with the city to gather historical photographs and documentation to inspire a design that was accurate, detailed, and rich in character.
The library serves as Boca Raton Library System's administrative headquarters and a regional branch. It is also a community center that offers a full service café and a large upper terrace for wedding receptions and events.
Despite the traditional design elements, the facility is equipped with the latest in library technology, and features multiple computer labs. The library's youth department has a story hour room for children and a distinctive teen area.
