Libraries serve as crucial community hubs and there was a need to expand and modernise the local library in collaboration with the City of Monash. The goal was to create a space that could foster learning, connection and creativity, all while the library remained operational, posing significant challenges in terms of public safety and project management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Black Sheep worked closely with the City of Monash to nearly double the size of the library, focusing on creating a contemporary and welcoming environment. The upgrade included installing recycled timber cladding, an after-hours book return chute, a modern e-caf\u00e9 with a kitchenette, creative reading nooks, an interactive information desk, custom joinery for desks and seating and new flooring and lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The library transformation was completed on time and within budget, despite the operational challenges. The new, expanded library now boasts state-of-the-art facilities and a more inviting atmosphere, greatly enhancing the community’s access to a modern space for learning and creativity. The project successfully balanced safety considerations with efficient project execution, resulting in a vibrant and functional community resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
