Earlier this week, the Lakeland History & Culture Center was recognized with the Award of Excellence in the Advancement of Local History by Historic Lakeland, Inc. and the City of Lakeland's Historic Preservation Board. Our firm proudly worked with the City and Library staff to develop a space that would honor Lakeland’s heritage. The History & Culture Center includes a rotating exhibit space, document storage, a research room, a digitization lab, and work areas. The design frames a distinct entry to the History & Culture Center from the central circulation spine of the library. The entryway serves as a spatial focal point, visually connecting visitors to the main library reading room, where clerestory windows capture westward views of Lake Morton. This dedicated space for cultural exploration will allow our community to connect with the city’s many stories for years to come.
