The New Library: GPA's Jewel

“From the first time I entered the space that used to be the old auditorium, I knew in my mind and heart that this would be ‘The Library,’” said Theo Pappas, AIA, Executive Director/Principal in Charge - Fanning Howey, the architects who renovated GPA's main school building. “To see a space realized to its full potential, as a symbol of learning and knowledge, as an aesthetic affirmation of the tenets of education, has been a sheer joy to me as an architect.”

The library, located on the second floor, is a cornerstone of the renovations. It has retained the character of a traditional library, with cathedral ceilings and wooden rafters, arched windows and dark wood shelving, while incorporating modern-day technology through the addition of two catalog computers and six computers for student use in conducting on-line research. Young children have a cozy area of their own in the back for reading time.
