From the American Institute of Architects:

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the American Library Association (ALA) are awarding five libraries with the 2021 AIA/ALA Library Building Awards for excellence in architectural design.

2021 AIA/ALA Library Building Award recipients must demonstrate design achievement, including a sense of place, purpose, ecology, environmental sustainability, and of history. This year’s AIA/ALA Library Building Award recipients, selected by a six-person jury, exemplify these qualities.

  • Arizona State Library Hayden Library Reinvention, Tempe, AZ | Ayers Saint Gross
  • Roxbury Branch of the Boston Public Library Renovation, Boston | Utile, Inc.
  • Sunset Park Library, Brooklyn, New York | Leroy Street Studio Architecture
