Norrisville Library & Activity Center | White Hall, MD

The concept of this 18,768 SF building was to provide the local residents with a facility that has many uses, ie: library, small activity center, town meeting space and gymnasium for youth sports and aerobic exercise. To achieve this goal, a 7,800 SF pre-engineered steel gym building was constructed at the rear of the site. The gym included six motorized fold-up basketball hoops, sound attenuation masonry walls, pull-out folding bleachers, and a rubber sports floor with a full court volleyball/basketball layout. At the front of the site, construction included a wood framed, masonry and vinyl siding 5,500 SF library, work rooms, restrooms, lunchroom and office facility. These two buildings were joined together by a similar 4,350 SF wood frame building housing offices for the parks and recreation director and building and maintenance supervisor along with storage area, public toilets and a community activity center designed for lectures, town meetings and visual presentations. The finished project is a functionally designed, multi-use building which both the residents of Norrisville and Harford County will enjoy for many years to come.
